External Links Blacklisted

[aamfirdaus]

Hi, Pablo and everyone.

I have an issue regarding web security. My website already has SSL certificate, and it is considered secure (with lock icon). However, https://quttera.com/ scanned my website, and they blacklisted 236 out of 246 external link in my website--most of them are due to it is listed as http:// instead of https://

I am sure I have generated the website with url https:// and I searched in the Global Placement, there is no page with url http://

WWB will not change your links, so they will be inserted "AS IS".
To be able to help you, I need to see what you have done.

When you installed the SSL certificate did you also use a .htaccess 301 redirect. What this will do is redirect all http to https if properly configured. It is possible that you are maybe linking to files externally that are within a iframe using http? Or linking to images that use the http? as this could explain the message.

I put all images in the Images folder and it is placed in the server. Thus, it is not embedded from an external sources.

I think this is related to ht.access file. I tried to crsate one to redirect all pages to https, but eventually I cannot open the website pages except Home.

It could be that I wrote the wrong script in ht.access file.

I'm sorry, I cannot help you with the configuration of .htaccess, but maybe your web host can help you?

It's all right, Pablo. Now that it narrows down the topic, I'm going to look for help from some friends who knows about it.

Thanks for your support, everyone

@aamfirdaus,

Use the code below to add to your .htaccess file to have all http: links directed to https:

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

I use this all the time on my websites and works great.
