K13 Former Urls are redirecting to http instead of https

Rory Aherne asked on February 11, 2026 14:20

Urls that are in the Former Urls module are redirected to a http version instead of https.

Is there some way to ensure https?

In the end it gets redirected to https via my own code but it means there are now 2 301 redirects which the client says is an SEO issue.

Thanks

What is the Presentation URL like? Does it use HTTPS? I am unable to reproduce the issue. Are you using any URL rewriting rules or other IIS configuration? Is your site set to require HTTPS in IIS? What are the bindings configuration for the domain in the IIS?

Ah thank you Juraj, it looks like the http is coming from our load balancer. Thanks very much!

Sounds like a classic SSL termination issue at the load balancer. Make sure it's passing the 'X-Forwarded-Proto' header so Kentico knows it's an HTTPS request. Enabling 'Enforce HTTPS' in the settings should also help clean up those double redirects. Good luck!
