Simple as the title suggests, love the minimalistic approach, and especially the
URL parameter to bypass it without having to login!

At last a plugin to create just a simple, basic ‘under construction / maintenance
page’ without tons of unnecessary options. Thanks!

Really Simple Under Construction Page does what it says on the box. It’s a basic
and developer oriented plugin, without all the weird bells and whistles and annoying
ads and upselling found in other bloated plugins. I just want to Block visitors 
from accidentally accessing a demo website, thinking it’s the real thing. Whitelist
my IP-address, so I can continue working on the website. Create a URL with a password
that I can send to someone who needs temporary access to the test site. Enable/disable
the block with a click This plugin, does that, and that’s it. Plain and simple. 
And that’s what makes it stand out from the crowds. 👍 Tested August ’23 on WP 6.3
and PHP 8.1
