Mloun Site Offline lets you take a WordPress site offline while you build or maintain it, without touching the theme.
Features
- Maintenance mode — one switch closes the frontend for everyone except authorized visitors.
- 3 full-screen particle backgrounds — choose between Particle Ring, Block Drift, and ASCII Rain. 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+noindexby default (switchable to200), and sendsno-cacheheaders 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.
