Maintenance Mode Made Easy

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 · 100% 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.

At the current install trend, crossing 300+ in roughly 121 days.

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.

   i was just looking for a simple on/off customizable HTML coming soon/maintenance plugin. 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.

   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!
