Cons of Using Change WordPress Login Logo

Impact on Security: The ‘Change WordPress Login Logo’ plugin enables users to replace the default site logo (usually a WordPress symbol) with their own custom image. Whilst this may appear to give one’s website a more “personal” feel, it could potentially provide malicious users with a weak link in the overall security level. Other users might be able to bypass the built-in authentication process if the image is easily recognizable by an outsider, for example a common image shared amongst multiple sites.

Accessibility Issues: By replacing the WordPress logo with a new image, it may inadvertently reduce the accessibility of the site. This could be because the new image is not as recognizable as the original logo and thus be harder to find for those with impaired vision or other disabilities. Additionally, a large image may take longer to load than the original logo for users with slow internet connection speeds.

Can Make Slow Performances: Although the ‘Change WordPress Login Logo’ plugin is fairly small in size and won’t take up too much of your website’s storage or RAM, it can still cause slower loading times if you’re not careful. This can be because large image files need to be resized, compressed or otherwise manipulated in order to meet the plugin’s criteria for use. Additionally, overusing the plugin could lead to increased server latency, depending on the number of images being processed and uploaded.

May Not Be Multisite Compatible: Many WordPress users take advantage of multisite functionality to host and control multiple different websites from one dashboard. The ‘Change WordPress Login Logo’ plugin may be incompatible with multisite functionality in some cases, meaning it might not be able to apply individual logos to each sub-site or post.

Conflicting Plugins: It is possible that the ‘Change WordPress Login Logo’ plugin could conflict with other commonly used plugins on your website. For instance, you may find that the plugin cannot correctly process or upload the requested image file if it conflicts with another plugin’s code or settings. Additionally, the plugin’s settings may also be incompatible with those offered by some other plugins.
