Control site access while maintenance mode is active
Under Construction lets you control when the holding page appears and who can see the site behind it.
Switch the mode on or off manually, or set an automatic end date and time. For site work, selected user roles and individual users can be allowed through; a login button can provide a route to WordPress admin. This setup suits teams that need visitors to see a notice while authorized users continue working.
Customize the page and collect visitor leads
The page can be tailored for announcements, branding and lead collection without changing the site itself.
- Themes and content: Choose from more than 500 themes, then set the headline, SEO title and description, and page content.
- Styling and links: Add custom CSS and social links, including Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, email and phone.
- Lead capture: Use an opt-in box or popup to collect email addresses and connect with MailChimp or other autoresponders.
- Translation: Weglot supports one-click translation of the page into more than 100 languages, which can help communicate with visitors in different markets.
What the Pro version adds
Pro expands the design, tracking and access options, with additional tools for marketing and agency workflows.
- Design tools: A drag-and-drop builder, searchable high-resolution images and additional templates.
- Tracking and access: Affiliate and traffic tracking, plus advanced access control for more specific visitor permissions.
- Marketing integrations: MailChimp, Zapier and universal autoresponder integrations.
- Agency features: White-label licensing and priority support. These additions are most relevant when a maintenance page is part of a broader lead-generation or client-service workflow.
Font use, analytics and data sharing
The plugin loads Bunny Fonts on both the public-facing page and in the admin area, while Google Analytics is optional.
- Third-party resources: The plugin states that it does not load or share other third-party resources. Using Bunny Fonts or Google Analytics involves data handling described in those services’ terms.
- Pro license data: Activating a Pro license in the plugin admin shares some data with WebFactory. Consider this disclosure when deciding whether to activate the license.
A frequently updated option with limited support data
Broad adoption and an excellent rating indicate a well-established option, but the support figures are too small to judge performance at scale.
The plugin was updated 46 days ago, so it is not among the most recently updated options at the time of this review. Four support threads are recorded, and all were resolved; that is encouraging, but too few threads to establish how support performs during heavier demand. It may suit sites seeking a widely used maintenance page, with support responsiveness worth checking if rapid help is essential.
