Declutter WP

A plugin for WordPress that shows visitors a clean temporary website when undergoing maintenance.

Description

The plugin informs visitors and search engines that the downtime is temporary. A clean temporary website is shown to anyone who's not a logged in user with admin rights. A 503 HTTP status code and Retry-After: 3600 provides relevant info for search engines. The plugin is simple by design, because it's meant to be comfortable and fast.

Here's more information about how to handle downtime during site maintenance.

Installation

  2. Upload maintenance-wp folder to /wp-content/plugins/ directory
