WP Maintenance Mode & Site Under Construction

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

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. 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 recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Turned on the “coming soon” mode easily but after a while could not work any more on my website. In tha backoffice could not see any MEDIA, only grey boxes instead of image miniatures and the Jetpack plugin reported an error connecting to the site. If I tried to go to your-site.com/xmlrpc.php (replace with your actual domain) only the “maintenance mode” showed up instead of the normal message: “XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only”. Could you please fix this? Even allowing access to almost anyone in the preferences did not work: only disabling the plugin and going back to the good old “Nifty Coming Soon & Maintenance page” worked.

   Nice and simple without bombarding you with PRO version advertisements. I love the simplicity of this plugin. The only reason I haven’t continued using it is the countdown circles. My only suggestion would be to add an option to turn off that feature and I’d be very happy to start using it again.
