| Pros | Two-factor login included in the free version; PHP firewall plus .htaccess 5G and 6G rule sets; Audit log and file change detection with email alerts; Login lockout, renamed login URL and CAPTCHA options | Troubleshooting mode isolates conflicts without affecting other visitors; Debug data is easy to copy for support requests; Free and maintained alongside WordPress core tools |
| Cons | Malware scanning and country blocking are Premium only; Many options; some .htaccess rules can break sites if misapplied; Database backup tab relies on UpdraftPlus | Plugin compatibility check sends requests to an external service; File integrity check fetches core files from the WordPress SVN server; Debug output can expose server details, so review before sharing |
