Traslatability | Coming Soon and Maintenance Mode

Description

Coming Soon and Maintenance Mode activates a waiting page with a 503 status code and Retry-After header, preserving search engine rankings during maintenance, while collecting visitor emails and sending an automatic launch notification as soon as the site goes live. Designed for those who switch between coming soon mode and maintenance mode, it provides a password-free preview link for client approval and covers only part of the site, such as the store, while keeping the blog accessible.
