See it in action
This is the way it works
The menu “Maintenance Mode” will appear underneath the settings and from there you can enable maintenance mode. With the checkbox checked, all pages are returning the HTML that you provide. You may also select a status code for what to return and you may choose between:
- 200 OK for this is the expected successful result before launch
- 503 Service temporary unavailable when in maintenance for a short time.
- 302 Temporary redirect when you are also doing maintenance for a longer time.
This is the admin interface where you can provide the HTML. We’ll just output it just as is and you may embedd styles and whatever you wish in here. We provide a basic HTML template and one with Tailwind from CDN as optional.
