With the preload option even the first visit is not necessary.

If the site is submitted to the preload list then also request on the first visit should be redirected to [https://](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-can-i-automaticlly-switch-from-http-to-https/?output_format=md). I’ve tested it and it does seem to work, do people also experience this when they visit the site for the second or third time? * Mark * Thread Starter [eliranseo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eliranseo/) * (@eliranseo) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-can-i-automaticlly-switch-from-http-to-https/#post-9832836) * Hi. The problem is the same. * Take that pic for example: [http://www.klarfeldlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_4740.jpg](http://www.klarfeldlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_4740.jpg) * Some friend told me that it’s not working in his mobile phone (galaxy s3), and he also sent me a screenshot: [https://ibb.co/cgRSGb](https://ibb.co/cgRSGb) * how can we fix it? * Thanks * Plugin Author [Mark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markwolters/) * (@markwolters) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-can-i-automaticlly-switch-from-http-to-https/#post-9836260) * Hi, * perhaps this has something to do with the browser/device your friend is using. After the first visit the image redirects to https:// for me. You could have a look at the [HSTS preload list](http://hstspreload.org). That will force requests over https:// on the first visit when using a supported browser. * Mark Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) The topic ‘how can I automaticlly switch from http to https?’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/really-simple-ssl/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=2839720) * [Really Simple Security - Simple and Performant Security (formerly Really Simple SSL)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/really-simple-ssl/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/really-simple-ssl/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/really-simple-ssl/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/really-simple-ssl/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/really-simple-ssl/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/really-simple-ssl/reviews/) * 9 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [Mark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markwolters/) * Last activity: [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-can-i-automaticlly-switch-from-http-to-https/#post-9836260) * Status: resolved
