  Hello,

  Here’s what you can do –

  You are put your website on maintenance mode. When someone opens your site, they will find this message instead of your content. There are plenty of plugins that’ll help you place your website on maintenance mode. Here’s a list of plugins to choose from – https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/maintenance-mode/.

  I hope this helps!

  Hi there,

  Since you are on the free plan, you can’t use plugins. You can instead make your site private or put it on “Coming Soon” mode by adjusting its privacy settings:
