This plugin uses Bootstrap, Bootstrap Icons, and Select2 3rd party libraries. These libraries are loaded locally to be compliant with data protection regulations. This plugin has the capability to use Google Analytics and Matomo. If you enable this option, please make sure you are in compliance with data processing regulations. We currently have checks for the [Complianz](https://wordpress.org/plugins/complianz-gdpr/)“ cmplz_statistics” cookie before tracking, but if you do not use Complianz you will need to build your own integration out. You can also put in a [feature request](https://www.polyplugins.com/contact/) for the compliance plugin you use, and we’ll look into integrating it. This plugin collects and stores certain data on your server to ensure proper functionality. This includes: * Storing plugin settings * Remembering which notices have been dismissed ### Assets [Under Construction Keyboard](https://www.pexels.com/photo/under-construction-signage-on-laptop-keyboard-211122/) ## Screenshots [⌊Maintenance Mode Preview⌉⌊Maintenance Mode Preview⌉[ Maintenance Mode Preview [⌊General Settings⌉⌊General Settings⌉[ General Settings [⌊Design Settings⌉⌊Design Settings⌉[ Design Settings [⌊Contact Settings⌉⌊Contact Settings⌉[ Contact Settings [⌊Social Settings⌉⌊Social Settings⌉[ Social Settings [⌊Analytic Settings⌉⌊Analytic Settings⌉[ Analytic Settings ## Installation 1.

So many have all these crazy redundant features or pro feature locks that clog up your usage of the basic features. This plugin was simple, easy to update and customize. It also didn’t conflict with anything else and just did what it said. There are some interesting pro features, but the upgrade asks are not constantly blocking content. I had a little issue with updating the custom aspect and the customer service was great too. When my site grows, I’ll definitely upgrade. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7232b8d05012e5435d562b5429d0632371bbc1c3cf42aba9ea324adefe415b57? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Maintenance Mode Truly Made Easy!!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maintenance-mode-truly-made-easy/)󠁿 [Will T.](https://profiles.wordpress.org/siegeward/) Zofinkplɔsun 12, 2025 Hands down the best maintenance mode plugin I’ve used! It’s super simple, intuitive, and easy to set up. The UI looks great, and customizing the maintenance screen is a breeze—just drag and drop an image, and you’re good to go. Couldn’t be easier!
