Maintenance Mode Pro for WordPress

Emergency maintenance page with live countdown, allowed-IP list and zero caching traps.

A lean WordPress plugin for taking a site down gracefully — and bringing it back fast. Designed for emergency work: bypass list by IP or role, live countdown banner, custom logo upload, and hard cache-bypass headers so visitors never see a stale cached page while the site is actually down. Built and hardened across dozens of real incident responses on the Backend.ly emergency line.

• One-toggle maintenance mode from the admin bar
• IP allow-list with CIDR ranges
• Logged-in role bypass (configurable)
• Cache-bypass headers (no stale pages)

• Works with WooCommerce checkout lock

Requirements

WordPress 6.2+, PHP 8.0+.
