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.

Overview
About this plugin
Simple Maintenance Mode White Screen is a lightweight WordPress maintenance mode plugin that lets you quickly put your site into maintenance mode with one click.
