Great coming soon add-on

I've tried multiple coming soon add-ons, but this one fits my needs the best. I can use my own prepared coming soon page

The best cooming soon

I like how it work

Good plugin

By KS (karl19) on March 26, 2025

I like this plugin and have used it on a number of sites recently. It's uncomplicated and works quickly without much modification.

I share the complaints of many other reviewers about installation of additional plugins though. It's fine to offer the installation of other plugins, but this should not be pre-selected or forced on the user without information. If I install a maintenance plugin, I don't expect a lot of other plugins to be installed.

Misleading

Sick of these plugins that don't provide all functionality in the plugin they're actually advertising. This one installs "Otter" and there is absolutely no mention of it doing this this anywhere on the plugin page. I don't care if the plugin has cool stuff like "GDPR Ready" (which all plugins should be) - if you install stuff I didn't ask for, that's an instant 1 star review. Removed.

Great, But!

works great, but just be sure to look for the image optimizer if you don't need one.

Never use again this Plugin ever

Redirect URL doesn't work well.

Great and useful addition

As a web designer I used this plugin on all my sites during the design phase, I think it's a great and lightweight plugin on the site. I encourage them to add more diverse templates in the free version, but you can always use any custom page you have and that was enough for me.

Installs other plugins upon activation

By Valerio Vaz (vvaz) on February 22, 2025

When you activate this plugin, you get redirected to a config page, where they have a pre-selected checkbox that will install Optinmole on your website.

If you just trying to get away from this page as soon as possible, you will end up with another plugin on your website, that conflicts with other images optimization plugins you have already set up.

That opinion by the authors of the plugin, made me do this 1 star review. I didn't test other features, but I don't want to be misguided.

Looks great, but has issues

By kontur.us (netzaufsicht) on February 17, 2025

Theoretical this is a great plugin allowing users to design and change their "Maintenance" page in Gutenberg.
But in reality it hung my WP admin upon activation.
And the site is not available. Too many re-directs.
Also the so called templates do install an extra plugin "Otter" which might be handy. But a little confusing.
