Coming Soon & Maintenance Mode by Colorlib

Description

Coming Soon & Maintenance Mode by Colorlib is a free WordPress plugin that lets you display a professional coming soon page, under construction page, or maintenance mode screen to your visitors while you work on your site behind the scenes. Set it up in minutes directly from the WordPress Live Customizer — no coding required.

Choose from 15 fully responsive coming soon templates, each pre-designed with modern layouts and fully customizable through the Customizer. Add your own logo, background image, heading text, countdown timer, and social media links. Collect email subscribers with the built-in MailChimp integration so you can build your audience before launch day.

Administrators and editors keep browsing and editing the site normally, with a reminder in the admin bar, while everyone else sees only the coming soon or maintenance page. The plugin also blocks the WordPress REST API for visitors to prevent content exposure while your site is under construction.

Why Choose This Coming Soon Plugin?

• 100% free — no premium version, no ads, no feature restrictions
• 15 responsive templates — professionally designed coming soon, maintenance mode, and under construction page layouts
• Live Customizer — customize everything in real time without touching code
• Countdown timer — count down to your launch date, in your site’s timezone, for every visitor
• MailChimp subscribe form — collect emails and grow your list while in maintenance mode
• Social media integration — add links to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, and email
• Custom logo and background — upload your brand logo and a custom background image
• Google Analytics 4 — track visitors to your coming soon page with GA4
• Custom CSS — add your own styles for advanced customization
• REST API protection — blocks public API access while the site is under construction
• Developer friendly — filters such as ccsm_skip_redirect, ccsm_force_redirect, ccsm_bypass_capability and ccsm_google_fonts control who sees the page and what it loads
• Works with all WordPress themes — self-contained templates run independently of your active theme
• Privacy conscious — no tracking of its own. Note that enabling the optional Google Analytics field, and the Google Fonts each template loads, involve requests to Google, which you may need to disclose depending on your jurisdiction. Developers can turn the fonts off with the ccsm_google_fonts filter

How It Works

1. Install and activate the plugin
2. Go to Coming Soon (in the WordPress admin menu)
3. Pick a template and customize the content, colors, images, and countdown timer
4. Enable coming soon mode — visitors see your launch page, you keep working
