| Editions | JSM Force HTTP to HTTPS / SSL | One Click SSL |
| Pros | 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 | Checks SSL support before switching; Redirects HTTP to HTTPS and rewrites resource URLs; Shows certificate details in the admin |
| Cons | Does not change URLs stored in the database; Only disabled through constants in wp-config.php; Needs a site that already serves valid HTTPS | Does not install or renew certificates; Rewrites output at runtime, so hardcoded http links in the database still need cleanup; Multisite support needs a network-level setup |
