| Editions | Easy HTTPS (SSL) Redirection | JSM Force HTTP to HTTPS / SSL |
| Pros | Redirects the whole site or chosen pages to HTTPS; Scans for non-HTTPS resources and can force static files to HTTPS | No settings: activate and HTTP URLs become HTTPS; Uses 301 redirects and filters instead of output buffering; Honours X-Forwarded-Proto and X-Forwarded-Ssl proxy headers |
| Cons | Needs HTTPS to be working before enabling redirects; Certificate issuance depends on an ACME library that is not in this release | Does not change URLs stored in the database; Only disabled through constants in wp-config.php; Needs a site that already serves valid HTTPS |
