WordPress maintenance mode: close your site to the public without losing rankings or locking yourself out<\/h2>\n

The WordPress maintenance mode<\/strong> in EHERO Maintenance Mode<\/strong> closes your site to visitors while you keep working on it as usual. You switch it on with a toggle, it shows a light page that looks the way you want, and it gives Google the right signal: this is a short break, not a closure.<\/p>\n

It sounds trivial until it goes wrong. The two accidents we see again and again: the plugin returns a 200 (or a 404) and the search engine decides your pages have changed or vanished, or someone gets locked out of the dashboard and has to log in over FTP to switch the plugin off by hand. This plugin is built around those two problems.<\/p>\n

It is also free and complete<\/strong>: no Pro version, no locked features and no ads in the dashboard. The three modes, lockout protection, the templates, the countdown and email capture with export all come in the same download.<\/p>\n

Proper SEO: the right status code for each case<\/h3>\n

It is the difference between a pause and a drop in rankings. Each mode answers with its own, deliberate HTTP code.<\/p>\n
