Duplicate Download of platform.twitter.com/widgets/hub.html

wbacusa Jun 08, 2012 12:27PM EDT

I've noticed in YSlow and PageSpeed that duplicate versions of the same file are being downloaded to render the Twitter button. I have no direct integration of Twitter features, only the AddThis code and pages are requesting the following:

http://platform.twitter.com/widgets/hub.html
https://platform.twitter.com/widgets/hub.html

Most widgets are smart enough to work out the correct protocol to use. Why am I getting two requests for the same file over different protocols increasing the page weight?

Unfortunately, when we're loading Twitter's native experience, the double call actually comes from them. We've notified them of the problem, but I would advise you contacting them as well:
