What is Mixed Content Error?

The mixed content error usually takes place when you’ve registered your domain address as a secured HTTPS/SSL address, but some of your web pages still follow an HTTP URL. Which means your website is partially secured. To understand this you can go through a detailed illustration as follows:

Open your website URL and review your domain name on the top
On the extreme left of your website domain, you’ll see an icon
The icon varies from websites to websites
If the icon before your website URL represents an active lock, it means your website along with all your web pages is secured to access
If the icon shows an inactive (opened) lock, it means your website is completely insecure
If it shows a broken padlock that indicates “your connection to this site is not fully secured” it’s a Mixed Content Error.

It means some parts of content on your website aren’t considerable for secure accessibility and you have to fix it ahead of time. Google does not value website URLs like that and won’t let you lead the search engine results. To analyze web pages with errors we suggest you approach an Inspect Element Tool. Google Chrome provides a free open source inspect element tool that helps you easily access & edit the CSS & HTML files on your specified web page.
