* I’ve been using WP Fastest Cache for 2 weeks now.
* Sometimes a cached page doesn’t load with all the CSS.
* Where this happens, the cached page changes all internal links from HTTP to HTTPS.
* My site / host doesn’t support HTTPS, so anyone using these links gets a security
warning.
* This happens regularly, despite me deleting the cache after updates. It isn’t
always the same pages / posts where this happens.

* > do you have 2 problems?
* No. One problem with 2 issues:
* WP Fastest Cache regularly doesn’t load a post with all the CSS. When this happens,
the cache shows all internal links as **HTTPS**. Which I don’t want. I want HTTP.

* aa I got it now 🙂 but it is a rule. If the url is “https”, the all external
sources’ url must be “https”. Otherwise, browser does not load it.

* I don’t have any rules or urls set to “https”. WP Fastest Cache changes all the
internal links to “https” on some posts. As far as I can work out, this only
happens when the cached page doesn’t load with all the CSS.

* A secure page must have secure external files so I load like that.

like that?

* Here is an example:
* [http://floodlist.com/asia/flood-disaster-risk-reduction-training-sa-kaeo-thailand](http://floodlist.com/asia/flood-disaster-risk-reduction-training-sa-kaeo-thailand)
* My site does not use “https” at all. Yet WP Fastest Cache has cached this post
and changed the HTML so that all the internal links (ie: to other parts of my
site) are “https”.
* It only ever does this on posts where WP Fastest Cache doesn’t load the CSS correctly.
I’m not sure what the problem is or what part of the problem comes first.
* There are 100s of cached pages that are fine and have the correct CSS and use“
http” only.
* So the problem only happens some of the time, but never on the same pages. Once
I clear the cache, the problem goes on that particular page, but then happens
again randomly on another different page.

* had to delete cache for my site, so the above example is no longer relevant.

* More fresh examples today. Here’s one:
* [http://floodlist.com/tag/algeria](http://floodlist.com/tag/algeria)
* Most of the pages (including categories, tags, posts) I tested were fine. But
some (as the above) do not load with CSS. And when this happens, the cached paged
shows all links to other areas of my site as HTTPS.
* Can anyone help?
* As per advice on other support threads, I removed the WPFC plugin completely,
plus and all related files, then re-installed. Sadly the problem came back.

* Emre
* > markfloodlist, you cannot load https if you don’t have ssl.
* **Exactly**. I don’t have SSL. I don’t want SSL. My website is NOT set up for
SSL.
* Look at any other pages on my site and there are no HTTPS links.
* Only the error example I gave you above ([http://floodlist.com/tag/algeria](http://floodlist.com/tag/algeria))
has HTTPS. In other words, something has gone wrong with that particular **cached**
page. I am trying to find out what, and whether it is something caused by WPFC,
or a combination of the plugin and other plugins / my theme.

* but wpfc does not make such issue. After combination the links are added like
that;

* By the way, I have never seen such issue.
