What it does. Site status closes your site to visitors for a while, for example during an update or a redesign. Visitors see a message instead of the site. When you are done, you switch the site back on.
Plan. Plus plan, from the October 2026 release.
How to turn it on
1. In the admin panel open System → Site status.
2. Switch the site to maintenance and write the message visitors will see. Say what is going on and when you will be back.
3. Save. To open the site again, switch it back and save.
Good to know
Payments keep working: confirmations from payment systems still reach your site while it is closed.
Keep the pause short. Members who find the site closed for days may not come back.
On an older version or another plan, you can still close the site by hand: put your website under maintenance.
