About Maintenance Mode

This plugin allows you to put your website in maintenance mode and display a custom message or HTML page. You can also configure settings to allow specific users to bypass the maintenance mode and view the site. The plugin also disables the WordPress REST API to ensure that site data remains inaccessible during maintenance.
