TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for developers who need to hide a site from the public before launch or during updates while still letting select users access it. It lets admins display a maintenance message or page to visitors, bypass access for specific users or IPs, and blocks the WordPress REST API while maintenance mode is active.
