Question on site secure / https

[davehughes]

Developing a site that will be https, SSL certificate installed etc. However I need to add some links to a number of other sites that have not yet been upgraded to https.

Am I right in thinking that these will simply count as mixed content and won’t trigger an insecure site warning on the site I am developing or do I need to approach this differently?

Thanks

Dave

If there just links to another site they don’t even count as mixed content.
If they get displayed like an iFrame or an image then it’s mixed content.

I believe that only “active mixed content” gets you the unsecured warning. Things like JavaScript, fonts and CSS.
