I don’t want to be that guy, but when I access you page I get warnings about the site not being secure. On mobile I’m not able to see why, but on my desktop I can see that some of your images are being loaded from http: which is causing alerts about insecure content in Firefox.

I’m only bringing it up because when I’m looking at security tools, I don’t want to see security issues (even if it’s just their marketing website)

Fair call. I will definitely need to check that. It seems like Chrome and Edge don't show those warnings. I will install Firefox and check what's up. Thanks.
If you reload the page a few times it goes away?

I've been noting this with ff lately (at least on mobile). The sites will be fine in chrome but have the error in ff. Unfortunately android ff doesn't let you see details about the error

If you reload the page the issue does go away... but only technically.

The issue is the page references a few images over http, which redirect to their https form with a permo redirect so the browser knows the new location when you refresh. Your browser also now has the image cached too so doesn't need to request it

One of those two seem to make it stop flagging the problem. I guess the browser only complains if it needs to make the request

@OP: I'd do a search and replace http://domain to https://domain and try to use relative urls where you can in future (I am aware this was probably a WordPress thing, not a you thing!) - My go-to for this is https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-search-replace/ for the content side and a good ol text editor in your theme files if needed, should be good to go :)

Thanks, I'll definitely look into that.
