| Pros | One-click HTTPS migration with 301 redirects; Hardening options such as XML-RPC and user enumeration; Email two-factor login for chosen roles in the free version | Sanitises SVG uploads before they are stored; Shows SVG previews in the media library; Choose which user roles can upload SVG files |
| Cons | Captcha, authenticator 2FA, passkeys and firewall need Pro; Vulnerability checks send plugin and theme names to a remote service; Many settings screens to review after setup | 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 |
