| Editions | Force HTTPS | SSL Insecure Content Fixer |
| Pros | One small file with no settings to configure; 301 redirect runs early on template_redirect; Free, GPL licensed | Graded fix levels, from simple to widget-wide; Built-in tests that check HTTPS detection behind proxies; Network settings page for multisite installs |
| Cons | Last tested with WordPress 4.5.2; Does not rewrite http links or mixed content; wp-admin is covered only by the FORCE_SSL_ADMIN constant | Rewrites output at runtime rather than fixing stored URLs; Hard-coded http assets in theme or plugin files need manual fixes; Stronger fix levels add some page processing cost |
