Majority of traffic reporting as direct

Within analytics most of the traffic is being report as a direct referral whereas I think it is actually from one of my other sites.

Both sites are HTTPS sites. I'm helping a friend with this so I'm not sure if it is HTTPS from Let's Encrypt or SSL By Default. I'm using the BuiltWith app to gain this data.

The link on the site is setup as domain.com not as https://domain.com - does this matter? should the https be fully typed out on the website? - How about other instances such as email?

I also think there should be more email referrals of which there are practically none. This is why I think the issue is a HTTPS/HTTP one.

I'm sort of thinking all domain.com links are directed to http for some reason which then auto-directs https. When domain.com should bypass http and go straight to https (not redirect from).

How do I bypass this http?

or am I totally confused?
