# HTTP to HTTPS links

 * I constantly have this problem after caching is cleared or pages are changed.
   
   Somehow the asset clean up css refers a https url to (for example images or fonts)
   to http.
 * Once that has happend my page is missing images because they are insecure (like
   icons). Then I check my database and I find all http references. Once I change
   those in the DB to https it’s all working fine but after 1 day it goes back to
   http reference.
 * I have mailed the plugin owner about it on the website but no response 🙁

 * [@draba82](https://wordpress.org/support/users/draba82/) thanks for reporting
   this! I know it’s been fixed a long time ago, are you using the latest version
   of Asset CleanUp? For now, can you just use the unload CSS/JS and leave the minify/
   combine until I’ll investigate this? Anyone else having this problem?
 * I don’t think I received an email from you, when did you send it? I’ll check 
   the SPAM folder. Can you send me a new one with the “System Info” (from “Tools”)
   attached?

 * Hi Gabe!
 * Yes I am using the latest version. Also just started using your amazing plugin
   😉
    I used the contactform on your website But I will send a direct email with
   my system info.

 * [@draba82](https://wordpress.org/support/users/draba82/) I’ve run a test on your
   website and it looks like you’re using Humminbird that is minifying the files.
   Asset CleanUp is combining those files. Now, if you load your website with **/?
   wpacu_no_load** appended to the URL (which technically loads your website without
   Asset CleanUp), you will notice in the browser’s console (_Right Click -> Inspect-
   > Console_) that you have the same problem:
 * _Mixed Content: The page at [your-website]/?wpacu\_no\_load’ was loaded over 
   HTTPS, but requested an insecure font ‘[your-website]/wp-content/plugins/revslider/
   public/assets/fonts/revicons/revicons.woff?5510888’. This request has been blocked;
   the content must be served over HTTPS._
 * So, consider disabling Humminbird minification and just use Asset CleanUp’s one.
   Or try to disable Humminbird and just use Asset CleanUp concatenation (no minification).
   Either Humminbird hardcoded “[http://&#8221](http://&#8221); OR the plugin/theme
   is doing that. Hope it helps!

 * Hi Gabe!
 * Awesome response and you were right.. I disabled hummingbird caching and only
   use them for pagecaching (and that was my initial thought).
    Then I hit some 
   lower response and really high loading time (7s) on the wp-json/v1 file (any 
   idea why?)
 * Now a couple day’s later it is fast and much smaller and wp-json/v1 is not slow
   anymore. But somehow Rev Slider keeps stucked at loading/spinner on the homepage.
 * Any idea why? And is this a known issue with revslider?

 * [@draba82](https://wordpress.org/support/users/draba82/) Whenever a REST request
   is made, Asset CleanUp’s code is not triggered because it’s not relevant for 
   that request. When a request is made (and there is no type of caching when performing
   that request), the whole WP environment is loaded and if at that time, there 
   were slow queries or something related to the hosting, then it would take a while
   for the request to complete and print its results.
 * There’s no issue with Revolution Slider. In fact, the problem you’re having is
   related to an undefined variable (check the browser’s console: right-click, “
   Inspect” and click “Console”).
 * If you access _[your-website]/?wpacu\_no\_js\_combine_ you will see that the 
   slider and other elements from the bottom load perfectly fine. This is a query
   used for debugging that will load the JS files as they are (minified at this 
   time) without triggering the combination.
 * There are two possible causes for this from my research:
 * 1) Hummingbird is interfering with the files (you removed the query strings from
   the files that are not minified). This is not a good practice because the solution
   it uses is simplified. Check this article: _[https://docs.wp-rocket.me/article/56-remove-query-string-from-static-resources](https://docs.wp-rocket.me/article/56-remove-query-string-from-static-resources)_(
   scroll to “Don’t use simplified solutions!”). Moreover, since Minify CSS/JS is
   enabled in Asset CleanUp, the query string is already removed and hardcoded in
   the file name, so stripping it via Hummingbird (in Advanced Tools -> General)
   or through other ways is not recommended as you’re using extra resources for 
   no reason and your visitors could load older versions of the files because there
   is no hardcoded version of the file (see the article I just mentioned).
 * 2) There’s an incompatibility between your theme/plugins and Asset CleanUp when
   a combination of the JS files is performed. This can be solved via trial and 
   error and make sure the file having that variable (from the console) has priority,
   applying “Defer parsing JavaScript” for the final combined file or, the easy 
   way, just disable the combine JS files feature. If your website is using HTTP/
   2 protocol, then it won’t make any difference for your visitors’ experience when
   the page is loading.
 * Asset CleanUp’s main purpose is to prevent useless CSS/JS from loading, thus 
   reducing the bloat. Combine JS is just an extra feature to further reduce HTTP
   requests and, in some instances, it can cause issues and it doesn’t have to be
   enabled as your website will load perfectly fine without it.

 * I believe your support and comments are awesome.
    Apparently I enabled “Remove
   URL Query Strings” and by disabling it I had no issues with Revolution slider
   anymore.
 * Thank you again!
 * PS; I am learning more and more what to do with your plugin. Now unloading lots
   off css files that are not necessary on other pages then Homepage.

 * [@draba82](https://wordpress.org/support/users/draba82/) That’s great that your
   getting used with the plugin! As you probably noticed already, it’s being updated
   regularly and more features will come up. How do you find the UI?
 * PS: If you’re happy with it, it would be great if you can leave a review here
   at your earliest convenience:

 * Hello,
    I’m having a problem with your caching plugin not clearing the cache 
   of css. Our images have recently switched over to https from http. One of the
   images is being called in the cached css as http:// . We have update the image
   to https:// in the theme’s editors css. Tried clearing the cache of Asset Clean
   Up, yet the image still remains as http:// as if the cache never updates! Using
   Asset CleanUp Pro 1.1.5.0 . Is there anything that can be done? Thank you
