# Mixed Content SSL Issues

Mixed content errors happen when your site loads some resources (images, scripts, links) over **http** instead of **https**. This blocks the padlock and secure SSL.

The issue is in your website code, not the certificate.

**Step 1: Find the insecure links**

- Test your site at: [https://www.whynopadlock.com/](https://www.whynopadlock.com/?referrer=grok.com)
- Or open browser developer tools: 
    - Chrome/Edge: **F12**
    - Firefox: **Ctrl + Shift + I** (Win) / **Cmd + Opt + I** (Mac)
    - Safari: **Cmd + Opt + I**

Look in the **Console** tab for mixed content warnings — they’ll show the exact http URLs.

**Step 2: Fix them**

- If using **WordPress**, install the free plugin **Really Simple SSL,** it automatically fixes most mixed content.
- Otherwise, update all http links in your site code, database, or theme to https (or relative // links).

Once fixed, the padlock should appear.
