## Summary

Upon activating a specific HTTPS folder, the _canonical_ HTML tag continues to render a HTTP page link, when it should in fact follow the page protocol in question (which changes to HTTPS).

## Simulation

1. Activate HTTPS in a single folder of the site ([guide](https://help.vtex.com/tutorial/--frequentlyAskedQuestions_4378));
2. Check the _canonical_ tag in the rendered HTML.

## Workaround

This type of behavior only occurs when specific folder have HTTPS activated.

By activating **sitewide** HTTPS (([guide](http://help.vtex.com/en/tutorial/--1igIyCv5IiGWGIekqYYI02)), the _canonical_ tags remain correct, rendering the link in HTTPS.
