Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Cool Coming Soon version 3.0.0 as active, updated 4mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.0.
Overview
About this plugin
Cool Coming Soon lets you put up a clean, fully customizable coming-soon or maintenance page in seconds — while you (and the people you choose) keep working on the real site behind it.
It is intentionally lightweight: no page builders, no bundled frameworks, no third-party services. Just core WordPress.
Main features
Three layouts — centered card, split screen, full background
Build the page in-plugin, or use any existing WordPress page (blocks supported)
Logo, heading, description, live countdown and an optional progress bar
Colour pickers, custom CSS, and self-hosted/system fonts (no external Google Fonts request — GDPR-friendly)
Built-in email collector (“notify me at launch”) stored locally with CSV export and optional double opt-in — no Mailchimp
Social icons, contact link, analytics (GA4 / GTM / Meta Pixel) and Open Graph/Twitter share cards
Auto-launch and scheduled-start maintenance windows
Live preview, settings import/export (JSON) and multisite support
SEO-safe: serves HTTP 503 with Retry-After and noindex
Dependency-free front-end (vanilla JS, no jQuery) and translation-ready (7 locales bundled)
Access & preview
Temporary preview links — share a tokenized URL that grants access without a login. Set an expiry (1 hour to never), an optional usage limit, and revoke any link instantly.
Password preview — let clients preview the live site by entering a password, no account required. Access lasts for a configurable number of hours.
Role-based bypass — choose which logged-in roles skip the coming-soon page (Administrators only, Editors, Authors, or any logged-in user).
All preview access is granted via a short-lived, HMAC-signed cookie. Passwords are stored hashed.
