| Editions | Easy HTTPS (SSL) Redirection | WPS Hide Login |
| Pros | Redirects the whole site or chosen pages to HTTPS; Scans for non-HTTPS resources and can force static files to HTTPS | Moves the login page to a custom URL with no core file changes; Restores the standard login when deactivated; Supports multisite network settings |
| Cons | Needs HTTPS to be working before enabling redirects; Certificate issuance depends on an ACME library that is not in this release | Hiding the URL is not a substitute for login rate limiting; Forgotten login URLs lock editors out until the plugin is disabled; Maintained without guaranteed free support |
