Does using non-https links (not pages) impact or penalise the website rankings?

Hi community,

We have couple of pages where we we have given non-https (http) hyperlinks by mistake. They will redirect to http links anyway. Does using these http links on page hurt any rankings?

Thanks

You better change them to the direct ones (https) in order to avoid extra redirects. More redirects = wasted crawl budget and less link wight passed to the target page. Not the biggest issue, especially if you have a small website, but still it's good to have such easy things done correctly.
