Insecure or Non-secure Pages on the Magento Checkout

| Very handy...    |
If you’re using an SSL Certificate at the checkout on Magento, which quite frankly I hope you are, you will need to ensure that you do not get all those horrible “this page contains insecure or non secure items”. Now, if you’re a Firefox user like me, you won’t see this error message, and the error is less obvious. It is for this reason that I suggest that you use Internet Explorer to test your checkout. Since most of the world still use IE, it is definitely the way forward to test your checkout.
Having this error is a bad bad thing and it is incredibly vital that it is sorted as soon as possible. It will only increase your drop-off rate at the checkout, and people will be incredibly unsure about whether or not your site is safe enough to buy from.
The error occurs for one of the reasons:
1. Your images are not being referenced securely… (this includes backgrounds)
2. Your Javascript source is not being referenced securely.
3. If you are using Flash, the links within the object class must be secure.
So, the best thing to do, is either change the links of your images, backgrounds, and all the rest - from http:// to https:// alternatively, if you find that the templates are being used not only on your checkout but also on other areas of the website - then simply put // rather than http:// or https://.
This way, depending on the type of page you are on, it will automatically adjust and either pick up the secure or non-secure location of the target object. This will instantly alleviate any potential problems in the checkout, and, encourage the users to carry on and buy with complete peace of mind!
