Security History
What It Does
Maintenance by WebFactory Ltd puts a WordPress site behind a splash page that displays a coming soon, under construction, or maintenance notice to visitors while the site remains accessible to logged-in administrators. It ships with prebuilt templates, a visual editor for branding the splash page, and basic controls for whitelisting roles, IPs, and 503 status codes. In practice you flip a switch, optionally customize the design, and your site looks closed for business without touching code.
Who It's For
This plugin fits site owners, freelancers, and small agencies who need a quick, no-cost way to hide an unfinished or being-updated WordPress site from public visitors. It is especially useful for one-off projects where a polished splash page is wanted without committing to a full landing page builder. Developers who need fine-grained per-role access control during long-running launches will also find the whitelist features useful.
Who Should Skip It
If you need a full landing page builder with A/B testing, email capture integrations, and theme-level design control, this plugin is too lightweight and you should look at SeedProd or a dedicated builder instead. Owners of large multisite networks or WooCommerce stores needing complex SEO-safe maintenance workflows will likely outgrow its feature set.
The Bottom Line
Maintenance is a dependable, broadly compatible, and actively maintained splash page plugin that delivers exactly what most small sites need without unnecessary complexity. Its weaknesses are modest: a small public support footprint and a feature set that stops short of full landing page builder territory. For the common job of hiding a site during development or updates, it earns its 87.57 quality score.
