Live demo, no install

Stop guessing how your maintenance page will look.

Type a headline. Switch a template. Change the colour. The page on the right is the real thing, rendered with the plugin's own stylesheet, updating as you type.

Sends 503, keeps your rankings Never phones home GPL, free on WordPress.org

Eight templates

Three in the free version. Five more with Pro.

Every template is mobile-first and renders its own standalone page, so your theme and page builder cannot interfere with it. Click any of the free ones above to load it into the editor.

What the server actually sends

A maintenance page that does not cost you rankings.

Most maintenance plugins serve a normal page with status 200, which tells Google the thin placeholder is your real content. This one answers the way the HTTP spec intends.

HTTP status
503
Service Unavailable. Temporary by definition, so crawlers keep the page in the index.
Retry-After
3600
Tells the crawler when to come back instead of leaving it to guess.
Robots
noindex
The placeholder text never competes with your real pages in search results.
Cache-Control
no-store
So nobody keeps seeing the maintenance page after you switch it off.

Built for real sites

The details that decide whether you keep the plugin.

A preview that is actually live

No save-and-check loop. The preview renders the same stylesheet your visitors get, at desktop, tablet and phone width.

You cannot lock yourself out

Administrators always bypass the page. That is hardcoded and cannot be switched off, precisely so a misconfigured role list never costs you access.

Never phones home

No tracking, no external calls, no fonts pulled from someone else's CDN. Every asset comes from your own domain, which keeps the GDPR conversation short.

Keeps some pages reachable

Exclude individual pages or URL patterns, so a shop checkout or an API endpoint stays live while the rest of the site is down.

Clears the caches for you

Nine cache plugins are flushed automatically when you toggle maintenance, including WP Rocket, LiteSpeed, W3 Total Cache and SG Optimizer.

Speaks four languages

Ships with English, German, French and Spanish. The maintenance page follows your site language, the settings screen follows yours.

Free stays free

The free version is a complete plugin, not a trial.

Three templates, the live preview, the setup wizard, role access, page exclusions and the 503 handling are all in the free version. Pro adds the premium templates and the tools you need when a launch has a date attached.
