Mixed content refers to a security issue related to websites and web applications. It occurs when a website contains both secure (HTTPS) and insecure (HTTP) content. HTTPS stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure and provides an encrypted connection between the user's web browser and the web server. HTTP, on the other hand, is considered insecure and transmits data unencrypted. A typical example of mixed content: A website is loaded via HTTPS, but resources such as images, scripts or style sheets are integrated via HTTP. This can pose a security risk as attackers may be able to manipulate or intercept Phone Number the insecure HTTP resources, jeopardizing the integrity and security of the website. Web developers should ensure that all resources on their website are loaded over HTTPS to avoid mixed content and ensure the security of their website. This is also important to maintain user confidence in the security of the website, especially when sensitive information is being transferred, such as with e-commerce websites or online banking portals.
