Picture method uses http instead of https

    Hi there – I am using the paid version of your plugin and have recently converted a bunch of images to webp – and activated them using the “picture” method. I recently did a scan of the website through Sitebulb. It picked up on a lot of “insecure content”. It seems Imagify is putting the webp images into the site by using http instead of https, i.e. the links to the webp images start with “http”. How can I resolve this so that is uses https and not http.

    Thanks,
    Marko

    Hey Marko,

    I’m really sorry you’re having issues with this!

    Does the issue go away if you disable WebP display entirely in your Imagify plugin settings page?

    If not, does it go away if you disable the Imagify plugin?

    Also, if you do not use a CDN or Cloudflare, have you tried using the “Use rewrite rules” option instead?

    Would it be possible for you to share a link to your site so we can check this for you in more detail?

    I’ll look forward to your response so we can hopefully get this resolved for you!

    Best regards,
    Joseph

    Hi Joseph – the webp images only show on the site if I have the picture method enabled. As the problem appears only for webp images (no other formats) switching off WebP means those links do not appear any more – hence the problem goes away. But so will the webP images.

    If I disable the Imagify plugin the webP images will not show – because the picture method will not be enabled.

    Unfortunately I am using Cloudflare – so the “rewrite rules” is not an option that is available to me.

    Thanks,

    Hey Marko,

    Unfortunately, given that both the “Use <picture> tags” option is not working for you and the “Use rewrite rules” option is not possible due to you using Cloudflare, there may not be an immediate solution for you to get your WebP images displaying.

    I can mention the following though. In Apple’s recent Big Sur 11 update, they introduced support for WebP images in their newest version of Safari. Once this update is widely adopted by users and the older versions of Safari are no longer widely used, you’ll be able to safely link directly to your WebP images without the need for Imagify’s “Use <picture> tags” or “Use rewrite rules” options to provide fallback support. You can track browser support for WebP at https://caniuse.com/webp.

    Without having a link to your site, it would be very difficult to offer any specific recommendations or solutions for the “insecure content” links you’re getting. If you’d prefer to not share your website here, you could open up a ticket with us using our Support page on the Imagify website.

    Best regards,
