Mixed Content
01 Definition
Mixed Content meaning: A secure HTTPS page that still loads some resources over insecure HTTP.
Mixed content happens when a page served over HTTPS also loads resources like images, scripts, or stylesheets over insecure HTTP. Browsers may block the insecure parts or warn users, and the page can lose its fully secure status. It weakens the protection HTTPS is meant to provide.

Why it matters
How Mixed Content fits the work
Fixing mixed content keeps the whole page genuinely secure and avoids browser warnings or blocked scripts that can break layout and features.
In context
After the HTTPS migration, one banner still loaded over HTTP, so the browser showed a mixed content warning until the image URL was updated.
Practical note
Active mixed content such as scripts is often blocked outright, which can break functionality. Update internal links and asset URLs to HTTPS rather than relying on browser fixes.
