| Pros | Manage many sites from one self-hosted dashboard; Updates, plugins, themes and backups managed remotely; Vulnerability checks through Patchstack; Changes log module for auditing edits | Sanitises SVG uploads before they are stored; Shows SVG previews in the media library; Choose which user roles can upload SVG files |
| Cons | Needs a self-hosted MainWP Dashboard to be useful; Opens a remote management channel on every connected site; Cloudflare cache purge needs API credentials | SVG optimiser is off by default and needs a code filter; Settings are limited to the upload role choice; Sanitising rules decide what markup survives, so check designs after upload |
