Universal Splash Page
Put a Polished Splash Screen on Your Site in Seconds
Show visitors a branded “Coming Soon” or maintenance page while your team works behind the scenes—without touching your theme or disrupting logins.
What It Does
Universal Splash Page adds a branded splash or maintenance screen for logged-out visitors. Logged-in users see your site as normal, so your team can keep building, editing, or launching—privately and uninterrupted.
Why It Matters
✅ Protect Your Brand
Don’t let broken layouts, draft content, or half-built pages leak to the public.
✅ Work Without Roadblocks
Admins, editors, and contributors keep full access while the public sees a clean, branded message.
✅ Toggle Instantly
Turn the splash screen on or off with a single click in the WordPress Admin Bar.
✅ Zero Theme Edits
No need to modify templates, mess with page builders, or break your layout.
