    Hi–

    I am trying to improve page speed scores on my website and one of the issues I see in the Pingdom speedtest (https://tools.pingdom.com/#!/RVuNV/http://www.thomashenthorne.com/) is a lot of redirects from the insert Youtube video element.

    My theory is that the coding in the element for the theme is default sending users to http Youtube addresses instead of https Youtube addresses even when we insert the proper https url in the video media element.

    If this is the case, is it possible to correct this now that Youtube has migrated to 100% https?

    And if this is not the case, can you help me understand why I am seeing these redirects for Youtube videos?

    Thanks so much!

    Hey goldengate415!

    Thank you for using Enfold.

    Are you sure that you set it to https instead of http? I checked the markup of one of the videos (124 Lily Street San Francisco) and it is set to http.

    <iframe class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="1500" height="874" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/FECMhR--xXM?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent&wmode=opaque" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;"></iframe>

    The Video element will not load the url from http if it set to https initially.

    Regards,
    Ismael

    Hi Ismael!

    Thanks for looking into this!

    Yes, I just double checked and the urls entered on the page in Avia, both in the color section video background (for desktop) and in the Youtube box (for mobile) are both entered as the https versions…. that’s why I was theorizing that maybe there’s something hardcoded in the theme somewhere that is assuming Youtube urls are all http?

    Thanks for your help in figuring this out!

    Hey!

    The Video element should not load the url from http if it set to https initially. Please post the login details here so that we can check it. Do you have any “ssl” or “https” plugins? And I’m so sorry for the late response, I forgot to tag myself on this thread.

    Regards,
