Here are few possible solutions: 1. **Update Smush plugin:** The first step is to make sure that you are using the latest version of Smush plugin. If not, update it. 2. **Enable “Automatic HTTPS rewrites” in Cloudflare:** Log in to your Cloudflare account, select your site, click on the ‘SSL/TLS’ application, select ‘Edge Certificates’ then in ‘Automatic HTTPS rewrites’ make sure it is enabled. 3. **Enable “Always Use HTTPS” in Cloudflare:** In the same ‘SSL/TLS’ application of Cloudflare, under ‘Overview’, enable the ‘Always Use HTTPS’ option. 4. **Configure SSL in WordPress:** If you are using an SSL plugin, make sure you have configured the plugin properly to use the https protocol. 5. **Check SSL in Cloudflare:** If you are using SSL on your hosting and your DNS is proxied by Cloudflare, then try switching to Full and Full (Strict) option on Cloudflare SSL settings. 6. **Check if you have mixed content on your site:** This could also be related to mixed content. When a user visits the HTTPS version of your website, all content, including images, scripts and other links, should be delivered over HTTPS. If some of these are still delivered over HTTP, then you have “mixed content.” This phenomenon is treated as non-secure by most modern browsers and could likely be the reason for this issue. A potential solution could be to search through your website’s code to find links that are still HTTP and manually update them to HTTPS. You can use DB search and replace plugins for that. * Remember to clear your browser and website cache after making these changes to see if any of them worked. * Kind regards, Zafer * Thread Starter [vintageuser](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vintageuser/) * (@vintageuser) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-smush-lazy-loading-ssl-not-working-http-instead-of-https/#post-17117503) * Hi, * I did these things, But the **Problem is still persist**, and **https SSL is not working **when **Lazy Load is Activated**. * **Here are the all answers:** * **Update Smush plugin:** The first step is to make sure that you are using the latest version of Smush plugin.
