# Converts https-links to http-link using IE

 * I’ve used Cloudflare several months, and it did speed up my page quite a bit.
   But I had to deactivate this plugin. The reason is that Cloudflare converts all
   my https-links to http-links. The problem occurs in IE, but not in Chrome, Opera
   or Firefox.
 * For several months I’ve tried to have the Cloudflare support team help to fix
   this, but their support is not very good. I’ve experienced that almost every 
   time their returning to me there is a new person, that I have to explain the 
   problem again. And where the earlier person trying to figure out what is the 
   reason for this, the new person does’nt seem to take this into consideration 
   and really doesn’t care, it seems. I’ve given up to try having this fixed.
 * The suggestion from Cloudflare support team in the beginning was to use some 
   of their page rules. This did not in any way solve this issue. This very same
   issue has also been addressed in 2015 as well:

 * I’ve addressed this to Cloudflare support on this thread as well:
    [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/https-redirects-to-paypal-in-ie-changes-to-http?replies=2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/https-redirects-to-paypal-in-ie-changes-to-http?replies=2)
 * with no support at all.
 * But Cloudflare was not able to solve the problem back then either. I’ve contacted
   Chad Warner and he said he did’nt even get a respond on his support issue.
 * The conclusion is that Cloudflare has a problem for all using https-links as 
   well as http-links on a page. Any linking to https pages such as paypal, returns
   a link to Paypals home page instead of the shopping cart.
 * Don’t use it if you have any kind of shopping solution on your page.

    - Did you set your site to https in wordpress?
    - Did you set redirect to https in htaccess?
    - Did you create a symlink from private html to public html?
    - Did you exclude your shopping cart from the CDN with page rules?
 * Just because you don’t know how to use something doesn’t make it a bad product.
   If you force a redirect to https through htaccess it’s impossible to serve content
   over http, end of story.
 * I don’t understand people who give 1 star ratings for this reason; _You_ don’t
   recommend it because _you_ couldn’t get it to work properly on _your_ website
   due to _your_ lack of understanding – and let’s not even get started on Intercrap
   Explorer – so this is a bad plugin and nobody should use it for that reason…
