 Good catch! Yes, that error seems too generic and can happen for various
 reasons, that are generally support requests. We could probably display a
 better error for the mixed content issue.

 Looks like it was already mentioned on GitHub, but not in the context of
 improving the message:
 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/23942

 Maybe creating a new GitHub issue for improving the message in case of
 mixed content would be the way to go.
