All are dependency-free Canvas 2D animations. * **Coming Soon title** — built-in, translatable, editable. * **Live countdown** — set a launch datetime and show a Days/Hours/Minutes/Seconds timer. * **Contact info** — show email, phone, and address on the offline page. * **Who can bypass** — logged-in users by capability, or an IP allowlist (supports CIDR). * **SEO safe** — returns `503 Service Temporarily Unavailable` + `noindex` by default( switchable to `200`), and sends `no-cache` headers so CDNs (Cloudflare / LiteSpeed) never cache the offline page. * **Excluded paths** — always allow login, admin, REST API, Ajax and cron; add your own paths (e.g. payment webhooks). * **Multilingual** — fully translatable via the standard WordPress text domain. #### Who should use it Agencies and developers building B2B / WooCommerce sites (Woodmart, Elementor) who need a polished “Coming Soon” screen instead of a half-built homepage. ## Screenshots [⌊Settings screen, General section: the maintenance mode switch, background effect, title, message, launch datetime and contact details.⌉⌊Settings screen, General section: the maintenance mode switch, background effect, title, message, launch datetime and contact details.⌉[ Settings screen, General section: the maintenance mode switch, background effect, title, message, launch datetime and contact details.

Upload the `mloun-site-offline` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen. 3. Go to **Settings Site Offline** to configure the background, text, countdown and contacts. 4. Enable **Maintenance mode** to take the site offline. ## FAQ ### Will search engines penalize my site? No. By default the offline page returns `503` with `noindex`, telling crawlers the site is temporarily unavailable and to come back later. ### Does it work with Cloudflare / LiteSpeed? Yes. The plugin sends `no-cache` headers so edge caches do not serve a stale offline page. For extra safety, set a page rule / Edge Cache TTL of 0 on the homepage while building. ### How do I let a client or team member see the real site? Add their IP address to the **IP allowlist** (Settings Site Offline Who can see the real site), or log in with an account that has the chosen capability (e.g. Administrator). They will then see the real site while everyone else sees the Coming Soon page. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Mloun Site Offline” is open source software.
