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 Graded fix levels, from simple to widget-wide; Built-in tests that check HTTPS detection behind proxies; Network settings page for multisite installs
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 Rewrites output at runtime rather than fixing stored URLs; Hard-coded http assets in theme or plugin files need manual fixes; Stronger fix levels add some page processing cost
