    In main.php line 439 there is missing a “https” before “//www.google.com”:

    wp_register_script( 'sdm-recaptcha-scripts-lib', '//www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?hl=' . get_locale() . '&onload=sdm_reCaptcha&render=explicit', array(), false );

    Is this a bug?

    Thank you for reaching out to us. I have reported your suspicions to the developers to investigate further.

    Kind regards.

    No, this is not a bug. It’s actually intentional and perfectly valid in WordPress.

    The line you’re referring to uses a protocol-relative URL (starting with //), which is a common and recommended practice in many WordPress plugins and core itself for loading external resources like this.

    The browser automatically completes the URL with whatever protocol the current page is using:

    This avoids mixed content warnings (HTTP script on HTTPS page) or unnecessary redirects.

    I understand. Thank you for the feedback.

    I have quite a few plugins installed on my website, but I haven’t seen this syntax before.
