Who can see the site when maintenance mode is on?

Only administrators (manage_options capability) can see the site when it’s enabled.

Can I customize the maintenance page?

Does it work with any theme?

Yes, Lite Maintenance Mode works independently of your theme, so it will function with any WordPress theme.

Simple, Lightweight, and Works Perfectly

I’ve been using this plugin on several of my WordPress projects and it’s been incredibly helpful. The setup is quick, and it does exactly what it promises - putting the site into maintenance mode without any extra load or unnecessary options. The interface is clean, and even non-technical users can handle it easily. I appreciate how lightweight it is compared to other maintenance plugins. No ads, no bloat - just a simple and effective tool that works smoothly. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a quick maintenance solution without slowing down their site.
