FAQ
-
Does this plugin affect my SEO?

No. It sends a 503 HTTP status code, which tells Google that the site is temporarily down. This prevents Google from indexing your « Coming Soon » page as the main content of your site.
-
Can I see my site while it’s in maintenance mode?
-
Yes! Logged-in administrators can browse the site normally to test changes. Everyone else will see the maintenance screen.
-
Can I customize the email shown?
-
Currently, it uses your site’s admin email from WordPress settings.
-
Does this block admins?
-
No. Logged-in admins can see the normal site.
-
Does it load any external fonts?
-
No. To keep it as light as possible, it uses system fonts.
