Wordpress Maintenance Mode - Setup Coming Soon Page in 2 Mins

In this video, we are going to put a website under Maintenance Mode using a plugin called WP Maintenance Mode (https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-main.... The plugin works just by clicking an activate button in its settings. It comes with all the needed options to create the page.


You can use some images as a background, change the text that will be displayed in a text editor and use more media in between texts (for example a logo). With this plugin, it is also very easy to create a coming soon page.


Not that there are no others or maybe better plugins to create a coming soon page or a WordPress maintenance mode page, but this one caught our eye and we used this one.


Now let's make the difference between coming soon and maintenance mode. The coming soon page is a page that will be displayed to visitors while the website is under construction and lets the search engines index the website before its launch.


The maintenance mode page is a page to be displayed in a time of small updates and fixes on a website that gives error 503 to search engines to tell them that the website is down just temporary.


That said, we have to recommend using a plugin to go under maintenance or create a coming soon page. If these two options are not used properly that can have a big impact on your SEO.


There are many plugins that will give us all the required options to create a maintenance mode or coming soon page and all of them will do their job perfectly.
