With the above header set on a domain example.com that wants to migrate from HTTP to HTTPS, non-navigational insecure resource requests are automatically upgraded (first-party as well as third-party requests). These URLs will be rewritten before the request is made, meaning that no insecure requests will hit the network. Note that, if the requested resource is not actually available via HTTPS, the request will fail without any fallback to HTTP. Navigational upgrades to third-party resources brings a significantly higher potential for breakage, these are not upgraded Attribution: Adapted from MDN Web Docs under CC-BY-SA-2.5.
