Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Build Mode – Maintenance Mode & Coming Soon Page version 1.1.0 as active, updated 6mo ago and tested up to WordPress 6.9.
Overview
About this plugin
Build Mode lets you put your WordPress site into maintenance mode or display a coming‑soon page / under‑construction page with one click. Instead of a generic message, you can select and display any page you’ve built — with the Block Editor, Classic Editor, or a page builder. Visitors will see your chosen maintenance or coming‑soon page, styled using your theme’s CSS and JS, while logged‑in administrators continue working behind the scenes.
When Build Mode is active, only the content area of your chosen maintenance page is displayed. The header, footer and navigation are automatically removed.
