Maintenance & Coming Soon Redirect Animation

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 79% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   The plugin delivers a clean maintenance and coming soon solution with minimal performance overhead. It supports IP whitelisting and access keys for controlled access, while redirect logic is handled efficiently without bloating the database. WP‑CLI compatibility and lightweight code structure make it developer‑friendly, and the animation layer adds polish without compromising speed. A solid choice for projects requiring secure downtime handling.

   This plugin exceeded my expectations. Setting up a professional “Maintenance” and “Coming Soon” page took only secondes, and the smooth animations make the experience feel modern and engaging. I especially appreciate the thoughtful features like IP whitelisting and access keys, which allow me to keep other developers working while the site is under maintenance. Everything works seamlessly out of the box, yet it still offers enough flexibility for customization. Lightweight, intuitive, and powerful, exactly what a WordPress plugin should be. Highly recommended for anyone who values both functionality and design!

The customization options are thoughtful, and everything just works out of the box.

   This is a reliable and well-designed plugin. The only feature I find missing is the ability to exclude specific pages from maintenance mode, along with a clear way to indicate which pages are excluded. Adding this functionality would make it even more versatile.
