Description
WP Custom Maintenance is a free, ultra-lightweight plugin that puts your WordPress site into maintenance mode with a clean “We’ll be back” page — while you and other administrators continue to access the site normally.
No subscriptions. No upsells. No premium tier. Free forever.
How It Works
Activate the plugin, enable maintenance mode from the settings, and visitors immediately see a customizable maintenance page. Administrators logged into WordPress bypass the page and see the site normally. When your work is done, disable maintenance mode with one click.
Features
Lightweight — under 10KB, no impact on site performance. Clean maintenance page shown to all non-admin visitors. Administrators bypass the page and access the site normally. Customizable headline and message text. One-click enable and disable from WP Admin. Returns proper 503 HTTP status code for search engines. No external dependencies, no tracking, no data collection.
Who This Is For
Any WordPress site owner who needs to put their site in maintenance mode during updates, redesigns, or technical work — without installing a bloated plugin or paying a monthly fee.
Requirements
WordPress 5.0 or higher. PHP 7.4 or higher.
