What It Does

The SSL Insecure Content Fixer plugin helps you clean up your WordPress website's HTTPS insecure content and mixed content warnings. Installing this plugin will resolve most insecure content warnings with minimal effort required from you.

Upon installation, the plugin activates its default settings and automatically performs basic fixes using the Simple fix level. You can choose more comprehensive fix levels based on your website's needs.

For WordPress Multisite, a network settings page is available to set default configurations for all sites within the network, allowing network administrators to customize settings for individual sites as necessary.

Comparing to Alternatives

SSL Insecure Content Fixer sits in a crowded field of SSL and HTTPS redirect plugins, but it carves out a niche by focusing narrowly on fixing mixed content warnings rather than handling full SSL certificate installation or redirects. Compared to broader security suites or all-in-one SSL tools, it's leaner and more targeted.

Top alternatives

Strengths

Solves mixed content warnings quickly without requiring manual code edits
Lightweight and focused, avoiding feature bloat found in larger SSL suites
Includes a specific Cloudflare SSL fix option praised by users
No ads or upsells cluttering the settings screen
Simple single settings page that's easy for non-technical users to understand

Weaknesses

Doesn't handle SSL certificate installation or full HTTPS redirects like some alternatives
Narrower scope means users with broader security needs will need additional plugins

User Sentiment Analysis

With a 4.8/5 average from 221 ratings and 93.2% of reviewers giving 5 stars, sentiment toward this plugin is overwhelmingly positive. Only a small handful of users (4.1%) left 1-2 star ratings, and notably none of those reviews included written complaints in the available data.

Positive highlights

"This one warrants a review... it's an instant, easy solution" — goviral
"Just one radiobox option provided here saved 17+hours work!" — iamyawer
"Simple lightweight and it just works better than other available plugins" — Skrlance
"It is not only plugin but actually a role model for other wp developers" — marcmsk
"It saved me time" — Hasan H.

Common complaints

Weaknesses

No written detail available from 1-2 star reviewers to identify specific pain points
Plugin's narrow focus on mixed content only may disappoint users expecting a full SSL/redirect solution

Who Should Use This?

Best for

Site owners who've already set up an SSL certificate (including via Cloudflare) but are struggling with mixed content warnings will find this plugin ideal. It's especially suited to non-technical users who want a one-click, low-maintenance fix without digging into code or database search-and-replace tools.

Not ideal for

Users looking for a full SSL certificate installer, automatic HTTPS redirects, or broader site security features should look elsewhere, since this plugin doesn't cover those areas. There are no recorded security vulnerabilities, so security-conscious users have no cause for concern here specifically.

Pricing & Value

Free version includes

The free version provides the plugin's complete functionality: automatic detection and fixing of mixed content/insecure content warnings, plus a dedicated Cloudflare SSL fix option. Reviewers consistently describe it as a complete, standalone solution requiring no upgrade.

Final Verdict

SSL Insecure Content Fixer earns its strong reputation by doing one job exceptionally well: eliminating mixed content warnings after an SSL migration. With a 4.8-star average across 221 ratings, a clean security record with zero known vulnerabilities, and consistent praise for its simplicity and effectiveness, it's a low-risk, high-reward addition for the right use case.

Its narrow scope means it won't replace a full SSL/HTTPS redirect plugin or comprehensive security suite, and the market offers many alternatives if broader functionality is needed. But for users specifically battling mixed content errors, especially those on Cloudflare, this plugin's focus, reliability, and zero-cost model make it a standout, uncomplicated choice.

FAQ

Look in your web browser’s error console.

Google Chrome has a JavaScript Console in its developer tools
FireFox has the Web Console or Firebug
Internet Explorer has the F12 Tools Console
Safari has the Error Console

NB: after you open your browser’s console, refresh your page so that it tries to load the insecure content again and logs warnings to the error console.

Why No Padlock? has a really good online test tool for diagnosing HTTPS problems.

You probably have a conflict with another plugin that is also trying to fix HTTPS detection. Add this line to your wp-config.php file, above the lines about ABSPATH. You can then change this plugin back to default settings before proceeding.

define('SSLFIX_PLUGIN_NO_HTTPS_DETECT', true);
