Biggest opportunity: Swap “under construction” for “503”. “under construction” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “503” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →2.9%
of downloads still active
At least 200K of 6.9M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,187 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 8 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

What to do about it
- Swap “under construction” for “503”. “under construction” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “503” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “under construction”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

For over 12 months, the authors of this plugin haven’t responded to any questions on the support forum, haven’t solved any problems, and updates also happened over 12 months ago and were purely cosmetic. The situation is the same with paid add-ons, because if you buy anything from this company, it won’t work and you’ll never get an answer to any email or inquiry (we’ve been waiting for 6 months). This plugin poses a threat to users and shouldn’t be in the WP repository at all. It’s just a scam!

…and with three options (redirect, maintenance, coming soon). Very nicely done.

I tried a few “coming soon” maintenance page plugins, but many of them just didn’t work for me. Some offer an overwhelming number of features, while others require complicated downloads or installations that are not user-friendly. This plugin, I like a lot, easy to install, setup and manage. Unfortunately, every time I go back to check – the same recurring message – that it’s not compatible. I would love to see an update, its a great plugin.

Not GDPR Ready – Google Fonts are external loaded. You can upload your own fonts (woff2) – but thats not my job. Thats not what GDPR ready means. Implement an option to cut the connection from googleapis. Thats state of the art in 2026.

All the needed feature, especially for a free plugin. Good customization possibilities. The plugin works seamlessly. A must-have ! Big up to the team.

I’m really impressed with the free version of CMP. The Bypass URL is a standout feature (it lets you preview your site, when it’s behind a “Coming Soon” or maintenance page.) It’s such a helpful tool! The setup was simple, and everything runs smoothly. It’s awesome to see such a solid plugin available at no cost. A “Buy a Coffee” button would be a great addition for those of us who don’t need the Pro version, I’d gladly pitch in for such a well-built tool!
