Sitemap links in HTTP

Hi guys, I don’t know if it’s an issue for all Webflow user or just me, but my sitemap (which is auto-generated by Webflow) only shows http link and not https. Does anyone know why? And how to fix it?

Here’s my sitemap: https://www.kolsquare.com/sitemap.xml

Double check that you have HTTPS enabled in site settings.
Your canonical looks fine.

I’d try turning off auto-sitemap-gen, publish, re-enable it, re-publish.
Just kind of a CTRL-ALT-DEL.

Other than that sounds like a call to support.

Thanks for your fast reply ;) Where should I enable HTTPS? Cause my website is currently in HTTPS (Kolsquare: take your Influencer Marketing to the next level)

I did your CTRL-ALT-DEL, but the issue’s still going on

Site settings, publish tab.
Just make sure it’s switched on, I think it reads “Require HTTPS” something like that.

I’m guessing it’s on, but just checking the obvious things before you reach out to support.

HSTS is not relevant here, but you have Enable SSL, the first one, switched off.

What I think is happening is probably this;

  • Webflow supports SSL on all sites, regardless
  • Some site configurations like ECom, require SSL
  • Other simple sites do not, and you can turn off SSL which would mean http: works

However, modern browsers encourage security and will always try to access a site using https: anyway, and since the server is responding 200 it uses that secured connection instead.

This explains both why you’re seeing http: in the sitemap, and why accessing the site comes up expected as https:

Switch that on and republish, and you should be OK.

Are you building a reverse proxy setup? This is the only reason most people would disable SSL.
