Header HTML


The Header HTML feature allows you to add HTML, CSS, or JavaScript to the header section of your site. Quickly add tracking code, JavaScript to your site's <head> section through a simple user interface.


  • Only use code you are familiar with and from a source that you trust.
  • It is a good idea to use the Site Backup Feature before adding custom code.
  • This feature gives you access to the <head> HTML section, <body end> HTML section, and allows you to configure quick navigation. For access to other HTML Predefined Sections see Developer Mode. 


Note


We cannot assist in troubleshooting custom code.


Access the Header HTML Section



  1. In the left panel, click Settings.
  2. Click Head HTML.
  • AJAX Page Changing (Quick Navigation). Click the Enable AJAX Page Changing toggle to replace the body content of the current page without changing the head for faster navigation.
  • Head HTML. Add content to the head section field.
  • Body End HTML. Add custom HTML/Javascript just before the closing tag of the </body> element for each page in the site.

    3. Click Save.


Recreate SSL Certificates


If you have previously set up your domain using a method involving using a CNAME and 301 Redirect and have changed your DNS settings to reflect a CNAME and two A Records, you will need to recreate your SSL Certificate.


To recreate the SSL certificate:


  1. In the left panel, click Settings, and then click the Site SSL tab.
  2. Click Recreate Certificate.
  3. You will need to wait for the certificate to be recreated.


Details About Secure Connections


  • You will need to recreate your SSL certificate if you switched your DNS settings from using the CNAME and 301 Redirect method to the CNAME and two A Record method.
  • Certificates for sites are valid for three months. Two weeks prior to the end of the certificate, the site will renew the certificate to ensure that the site remains secure and valid.
  • Once your site has been set up with a certificate you will see a small lock icon in your Dashboard to indicate that the site is a secure site.
  • Website Builder uses HSTS Policy (HTTP Strict Transport Security). This feature helps protect against protocol downgrade attacks and cookie hi-jacking.
  • The site's secure connection uses the DV (Domain Validated) certificate.
  • Our SSL implementation is not compatible with any version of Internet Explorer on Windows XP (but will work on Chrome or Firefox).
  • Not compatible with Android 2.3 and earlier.
  • We've added logic to the platform that makes sure we don't redirect traffic to HTTPS for these devices. If a user on an incompatible browser attempts to load the HTTPS version of the site, a security error/warning will appear. However, if the user visits the HTTP version of the site, the site will simply not load the HTTPS version.
  • Currently, our SSL solution does not support internationalized domain names (names with non-Latin characters, i.e www.bücher.de)


Using Custom or Third Party Code in SSL Sites


Due to HTML standards, HTTP or non-secured content cannot be displayed in HTTPS or secure sites. This means that any custom code which relies on loading content from an HTTP server will not work in an SSL Site. If you need to use code which normally loads from an HTTP server, we recommend either:


  • Requesting HTTPS-friendly code from your code provider
  • Disabling HTTPS for your Responsive Site


As our editor displays by default on an HTTPS connection, one good way to test whether or not code will work in the final site is to see if it works in the editor. If it does not, it is equally unlikely to work in a live HTTPS site.
