Really Simple Under Construction Page
Version 1.5.0 is a recommended security update for all existing users. It blocks JavaScript injection on the Under Construction page, hardens the bypass cookie (Secure/HttpOnly/SameSite), tightens IP-whitelist validation, and fixes silent breakage with WP-CLI, cron, and the REST API. The plugin’s behavior and settings are unchanged — existing setups upgrade in place. See the changelog for the full list.
Add a really simple Under Construction page to your website by enabling this plugin. Use IP whitelisting and a secret URL to grant access to selected users without logging in.
Go to the settings page in Settings > Really Simple Under Construction. Enable by checking the checkbox. The Under Construction page is only visible to visitors who are not logged in. You can optionally configure:
- The Under Construction page itself — paste any HTML (DOCTYPE, <style>, <body> etc. are supported, scripts are stripped).
- A secret word that lets you bypass the page via a URL like
?yoursecret. A cookie is then stored so the same browser keeps access. - The lifetime of that cookie, in days.
- A list of IP addresses to whitelist for users and services that should always see the real site.
