Biggest opportunity: Swap “force ssl” and “https” for “ssl mixed content” and “mixed”. “force ssl” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “ssl mixed content” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “https” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “mixed” sits at #23 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 8K of 327.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| ssl mixed content | #10 | #12 | 0 |
| mixed content your tag | #13 | #17 | 0 |
| insecure content your tag | #16 | #20 | down 1 |
| mixed | #23 | #23 | down 2 |
| insecure | #22 | #15 | 0 |
| force ssl your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| https your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| ssl your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
9 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 5 listed. 4 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “force ssl” and “https” for “ssl mixed content” and “mixed”. “force ssl” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “ssl mixed content” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “https” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “mixed” sits at #23 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “insecure content”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “mixed content”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

There were something that caused https to be not 100% safe. With this plugin, https became 100% safe.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Robin Jennings7.3y ago
This plugin is super simple that removed all the mixed content of the site when we updated the site from http to https. This included images, forms, javascript etc.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ pracko7.3y ago
This plugin was great for resolving mixed content issues when I switched to HTTPS. It also helped the site load faster. But the reason I only give it two stars is because it forces external HTTP links to HTTPS, which is no good for SEO. Yes, there are still other websites out there not on HTTPS (in my case, it was a link to a government site — no https, can you believe it!?) Also, the plugin’s developer seems to be MIA and does not respond to support questions anymore. If there was an option to EXCLUDE specific URLs, this plugin would really rock, but as of now, it’s lacking the feature set and support that would otherwise make this a truly great plugin.
