    Hi,
    Please add a setting checkbox so if the redirect is from http to https and all the rest is the same – the plugin will automatically apply this change.
    It will make things more secure and save plenty of links to fix.
    Thanks.

    Hi @eitanc,

    Thanks for another suggestion, however, I would like to ask for some additional info here.
    Are you looking to have an option to automatically redirect all HTTP links to HTTPS?
    Or are you referring to something else?
    Could you elaborate your request a bit more please?

    Cheers,
    Predrag

    Yog got me correct.
    A checkbox that if will be enabled, and I think it should be so be default – any link that you find to be redirecting to the same exact link but using httpS instead of clear-text http – the “Fix redirect” will be performed automatically by the plugin and thus will be OK and never shown in the redirects table for users to fix.

    Hi @eitanc,

    Thanks for confirming the workflow you are looking for. In general HTTP URLs wouldn’t be listed as broken by the plugin and hence isn’t detected in any way, however, I do get and I’ll make sure to bring this into our team’s attention to see whether such use cases could be implemented down the plugin’s roadmap.

    We really appreciate your feedback. Have a nice day ahead.

    Kind Regards,

    Thanks.
    They were marked as “Redirect”, not “Broken”, but I have several old blogs that has many http only old links, and it take lots of time to accept manually the redirect to https… so such auto-fix will be a win-win to all.
    Thanks.
