Links from HTTPS to HTTP

Priority: Low

Impact: Negative

What issues it may cause​

If the website is served on a single preferred protocol, then search engines will crawl URLs on the alternative protocol. Even if they redirect back to the preferred protocol, this will result in some wasted crawl budget.

How do you fix it​

Update the links to use a consistent protocol, preferably HTTPS.

What is the positive impact​

Crawl budget spent on the non-preferred protocol may be reduced, allowing crawl budget to be used on more important pages, or save on server costs.

How to fetch the data for this report template​

You will need to run a crawl for report template to generate report. When report has been generated and you have crawl id you can fetch data for the report using the following query:

query GetReportStatForCrawl(
      $crawlId: ObjectID!
      $reportTemplateCode: String!
      $after: String
     ) {
        getReportStat(
          input: {crawlId: $crawlId, reportTemplateCode: $reportTemplateCode}
        ) {
          crawlUniqueLinks(after: $after, reportType: Basic) {
            nodes {
              anchorText
              urlToTitle
              urlTo
              primaryUrlFromTitle
              primaryUrlFrom
              instanceCount
              primaryUrlFromDeeprank
              urlToDeeprank
              primaryUrlFromHttps
              urlToHttps
              nofollow
              isRedirect
            }
            totalCount
            pageInfo {
              endCursor
              hasNextPage
            }
          }
       }
     }
