Really Simple Under Construction Page – Coming Soon & Maintenance Mode

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 · 48% 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 800+ in roughly 159 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Simple as the title suggests, love the minimalistic approach, and especially the URL parameter to bypass it without having to login!

   Really Simple Under Construction Page does what it says on the box. It’s a basic and developer oriented plugin, without all the weird bells and whistles and annoying ads and upselling found in other bloated plugins. I just want to Block visitors from accidentally accessing a demo website, thinking it’s the real thing. Whitelist my IP-address, so I can continue working on the website. Create a URL with a password that I can send to someone who needs temporary access to the test site. Enable/disable the block with a click This plugin, does that, and that’s it. Plain and simple. And that’s what makes it stand out from the crowds. 👍 Tested August ’23 on WP 6.3 and PHP 8.1
