# “https” added to relative paths

 * Hello!
 * My theme’s css uses relative paths, and when i use hummingbird (for css optimisation
   via grouping and compression), the relative paths are replaced with absolute 
   ones.
 * However, Hummingbird adds “https”, while my entire site is accessed via “http”
   only.
 * See this screenshot:

 * Thankyou!

 * Hi Chipro,
 * Is there a specific reason that you’re not using a HTTPS on your site?
    By today’s
   standards this is a must-have as sites without HTTPS get penalized by search 
   engines and site crawlers.
 * Also, from what I can see that the theme that you are using is outdated as the
   last update was released back in 2018. Fontawesome on your site is also still
   at 4.7 that was released in 2016 while the latest version is already at 5.13.
 * I would suggest getting in touch with your theme devs if they are still active
   and ask for an updated version that supports newer Fontawesome fonts, and also
   install SSL certificate on your site in order to resolve further penalizing of
   your site.
 * Your host should be able to sort out the free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate for
   you.
 * Cheers,
    Predrag

 * Hello!
 * Thanks for the response.
 * Unfortunately, there was no update done to the theme, probably it was abandoned.
   I will try to manually update it
 * I will also switch to https, if this is now a standard, or a must.
 * I must admit that the website is a travel blog and i have no deep knowledge of
   worpdress and web, actually.
 * However, i expect that hummingbird is smart enough to adapt to any change.

 * Hello [@chipro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chipro/)
 * I trust you’re doing well!
 * Hummingbird has an advanced feature in Asset Optimization which allows optimizing
   each file manually.
 * Please make sure the assets with relative paths are not inlined in Asset Optimization.
   It is expected behavior for the relative path not to work when inlined. Please
   see this screenshot:
