How to fix mixed content on Shopify Plus

Steps for Shopify Plus

1. Follow the same theme-code and page-content steps as Shopify above.
2. Additionally audit any Launchpad scripts, Shopify Scripts, or custom checkout.liquid modifications: go to Online Store → Themes → Edit code → checkout.liquid and search for 'http://'.
3. Check any custom third-party integrations or headless front-end configurations for hardcoded HTTP asset URLs.
4. Re-test with DevTools Console.

What is mixed content?

Mixed content happens when a webpage is served securely over HTTPS but one or more of its resources — images, JavaScript files, CSS stylesheets, fonts, videos, or iframes — are still requested over the old, unencrypted HTTP protocol. Browsers treat this as a security problem because the page itself is encrypted but parts of it are not. Modern browsers either silently upgrade, actively block, or display a security warning when they detect mixed content. The result is a broken or degraded experience for your shoppers.

Mixed content can break visible elements on your store (images that won't load, styles that don't apply, widgets that silently fail), directly hurting conversion rates. Browsers like Chrome and Firefox block "active" mixed content (scripts and stylesheets) outright, meaning functionality you depend on — checkout widgets, live chat, reviews — may simply stop working. A broken padlock icon or "Not Secure" warning in the address bar destroys shopper trust at the exact moment they are deciding whether to buy. Search engines also use HTTPS as a ranking signal, and a compromised security indicator can undermine the SEO benefit your SSL certificate is supposed to provide.
