HTTP pages with Clicks

HTTP pages that have generated clicks from Google's search results pages

Priority: Medium

Impact: Negative

What issues it may cause​

Users may prefer sites using secure pages on HTTPS and consider an HTTP page a bad user-experience.

Search engines prefer to show HTTPS pages in search results, so the rankings of HTTP pages may be lower than HTTPS pages at some point in time.

How do you fix it​

These URLs should be 301 redirected to HTTPS versions if they are available.

Any internal links to the HTTP URLs should be updated to use the HTTPS protocol.

If the pages are included in Sitemaps, the Sitemap links should be updated to use the HTTPS protocol.

What is the positive impact​

Visitors who arrive from search results will have a better user-experience and a lower rate of bounce back to search results. This may positively impact the rankings and increase traffic.

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}
        ) {
          crawlUrls(after: $after, reportType: Basic) {
            nodes {
              pageTitle
              url
              foundAtUrl
              deeprank
              level
              searchConsoleTotalClicks
              searchConsoleTotalImpressions
              hsts
              https
              redirectedToUrl
              foundInGoogleAnalytics
              foundInGoogleSearchConsole
              foundInBacklinks
              foundInList
              foundInLogSummary
              foundInWebCrawl
              foundInSitemap
            }
            totalCount
            pageInfo {
              endCursor
              hasNextPage
            }
          }
       }
     }
