Speedx – Maintenance Mode

ማብራሪያ

This minimalistic plugin allows administrators to activate maintenance mode with fully customizable HTML and CSS. The plugin allows you to unlock access to maintenance mode with a simple passcode/password. After entering the passcode correctly, the visitor will see the full version of the site without having to have a user account. The input password can be secured using Google reCaptcha.

Key Features:

  • Customizable Maintenance Page: Set the page title and content using the built-in WordPress WYSIWYG editor. Easily add media from your website’s media library.
  • Advanced Customization: Insert custom CSS styles, analytics codes, and additional scripts in various sections of the page.
  • User Access Control: Unauthenticated visitors will see the maintenance mode page, while all logged-in users with the “Visitor” role or higher will have full access to the website.
  • Enter using a simple password: Visitors can unlock the site using a simple password and see it without the maintenance mode page. No user account is required for this unlocking in the WordPress system.

This plugin provides a simple yet powerful way to create a personalized maintenance mode page while maintaining full control over its design and functionality.

External Services

This plugin uses Google reCAPTCHA to enhance security and prevent automated bots from bypassing the maintenance mode restriction.

What data is sent and when?

When a user submits the unlock form, the plugin sends the following data to Google’s reCAPTCHA API:
– The user’s reCAPTCHA response token.
– The user’s IP address (sent automatically by Google’s API).
– The action associated with the reCAPTCHA verification.

Why is this data sent?

The data is required for Google reCAPTCHA to assess the likelihood that the form submission is performed by a human user. The plugin uses this verification to help prevent automated access attempts.

Where is the data sent?

The data is transmitted to Google’s reCAPTCHA servers for verification.
