| Cons | 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 | Two-factor login and daily reporting need SecuPress Pro; Many checks and options are locked behind the Pro badge in admin |
