HTTPS Downgrade

Detects links from HTTPS pages to HTTP destinations

Rule ID	links/https-downgrade
Category	Links
Scope	Per-page
Severity	warning
Weight	5/10

Solution

Links from HTTPS to HTTP pages create security warnings and break the trust chain. Users may see ‘not secure’ warnings. Update all links to use HTTPS. If the target site doesn’t support HTTPS, consider if you really need to link there. For internal links, ensure your entire site uses HTTPS.
