If your site does not display correctly or does not show a lock icon in the address bar when accessed over HTTPS, your browser is likely preventing the page from showing mixed content.

Mixed content occurs when an HTTPS page includes content retrieved through regular HTTP. This causes the page to be partially encrypted, and most browsers will block the unencrypted content.

To resolve your site's mixed content errors, you will need to track down the mixed content with your browser's console and either remove the faulty requests from your app's, theme's, or plugin's code or fix the code to display correctly over HTTPS.
