 * Just wondering, does the mixed content fixer dynamically change URLs on the front
   end when a page loads, or does it actually alter the database permanently? Just
   trying to figure out the impact on site speed. Thanks

 * Hi [@phillip7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phillip7/),
 * Indeed, the Mixed Content Fixer in the free plugin dynamically rewrites insecure`
   http://` links to `https://` in the page HTML, but it does not change anything
   in your database.
 * In practice, the impact is minimal for most sites, comparable to other lightweight
   output tweaks. And if your site does not contain any Mixed Content at all, the
   fixer can also be disabled via the plugin’s settings _(under Security -> Settings-
   > SSL)._
 * Kind regards, Jarno
