About My Maintenance Mode
From the official readme · v1.0.2Description
The plugin allows you to put your website on the WordPress into maintenance mode.
Quoting Wikipedia:
503 Service Unavailable. The server is currently unavailable (because it is overloaded or down for maintenance). Generally, this is a temporary state.
Данный плагин позволяет вам просто и быстро перевести сайт в режим обслуживания.
Цитируя Википедию:
503 Service Unavailable — сервер временно не имеет возможности обрабатывать запросы по техническим причинам (обслуживание, перегрузка и прочее). В поле Retry-After заголовка сервер может указать время, через которое клиенту рекомендуется повторить запрос. Хотя во время перегрузки очевидным кажется сразу разрывать соединение, эффективней может оказаться установка большого значения поля Retry-After для уменьшения частоты избыточных запросов. Появился в HTTP/1.0.
