You mention, "I have issue issue as after cloning word press site from domain to another" which likely explains the problem.
You can never "clone" a WordPress Website + expect it to work.
This isn't the way the WordPress database is designed.
You must do the following.
1) Make a backup of all files + database data.
2) Restore the data somewhere else.
3) Run a serialized data aware rename script across the database.
4) For brain-dead themes like Divi, you must also run a script or command line rename to rename all broken CSS cache files Divi builds.
5) Be aware #4 applies to many themes, Divi is just one of this troublesome... ilk...
Note: There is no cure for #4 except writing custom code... or better... deinstalling the theme/plugins which break WordPress best practices in this horrible manner.
6) #1-#3 are handled by any WordPress backup + restore plugin.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator is one such working plugin + there are 100s-1000s of other backup plugins that also do this correctly.

The first thing to do in WP is go to Settings->Permalinks. Click Save even if the settings are as you expect. This may fix the issue.
If that does not work, you can try a broken link checker plug in like https://wordpress.org/plugins/broken-link-checker/. Please make sure to back up your site/database before making changes.
Although I have not messed with the database recently, I have in the past manually updated links in the db using a query https://codex.wordpress.org/Database_Description I would try the first two options though as they will be safer.

When you view->source, you are looking at rendered HTML. In Wordpress, and other CMS systems, you are not working with static HTML. Instead, the HTML is rendered through multiple methods (functions).
You need to attack the underlying issue.
Did you try anything suggested yet? That is where to start.

With relative URL: there is NO https:// or http:// no hostname with ports etc. So just use URI's
it should be generated like:

After a second look at your code, it looks like you are using drupal and not Wordpress. If you are using Wordpress, you really should be looking at your theme set up as well as settings > permalinks

If the href contains hardcoded hsotnames... well it probably was intentional to nail those links to the original sitename ....
this is what relative URLs are for. transportable sites.)
