| Pros | Sanitises SVG uploads before they are stored; Shows SVG previews in the media library; Choose which user roles can upload SVG files | File integrity scanner and audit logs in the free plugin; Two-factor login and hardening options; Remote SiteCheck scan included |
| 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 | Firewall and brute-force protection need a paid subscription; Many screens and settings to review; Cloud features depend on Sucuri services |
