It allows users to easily install, update, secure and manage their WordPress sites directly from cPanel. It also provides the ability to administer multiple WordPress sites hosted on that hosting account.
This tool often includes functionality to automatically update WordPress, backup data, manage themes and plugins, and other useful options for easy maintenance of WordPress sites.
