Fewer HTTP requests

    Good day folks,

    We installed the plugin and has worked well, although we are experiencing the famous issue of having a lot of http requests now. We checked this and it seems the site loads some http requests still, but loads first the one associated with the main home page. We don’t know why.

    Could you give us a hand to understand this better and a way to solve it please?

    Thank you!

    Hi @copiaurbietorbi,

    I’m not sure I understand what you are referring to. How did you measure the http requests, and in what way is this related to SSL?

    The site seems to load fine, without any mixed content.

    Hello Rogier,

    Thank you for getting back to us. We measured this using pingdom website and it shows how our site is loading the file with http first and then with https.

    We installed your plugin so that our website run over https, but if the conversion from http is made, then we don’t know why we are loading the http file first.

    We are trying to understand how all this works. We are not too saavy yet but quick learners.

    Thank you for helping us understand this better.

    I think this is what you are looking for: If you enable the .htaccess redirect in settings/ssl, then the redirect will happen before WordPress is loaded. Nevertheless, if you measure with a http URL, this is the URL that will get requested first, then it will get redirected to https.

    OK so we need to check our .htaccess file rules then. Thank you for your help.

    It’s a setting which you can enable in settings/ssl, just check the checkbox, save, and you’re done!

    Hi Rogier,

    we have the following configuration based on what we understood from this chat but also from what we have read:

    Mixed content fixer -ON
    Enable WordPress 301 redirection to SSL -ON
    Enable 301 .htaccess redirect -ON
    Enable Javascript redirection to SSL -ON
    Debug -ON
    Stop editing the .htaccess file -OFF
    Switch mixed content fixer hook -ON

    Are these settings ok to optimize our SSL configuration?

    Thank you for your help
