Omitting the the protocol by just using // in front of the path is a very bad idea in term of SEO. Ok, most of the modern browsers will work fine. On the other hand, most of the robots will get in trouble scanning your site. Masjestic will not count the flow from those links. Audit tools, like SEMrush, will not be able to perform their jobs
