This plugin is designed for site administrators who need to perform lengthy updates to plugins or themes without causing a complete site outage. It provides a way to keep core site functionality available to visitors while background update tasks are in progress.

Background Update Mode: Instead of showing a traditional maintenance page, the plugin allows the site to stay online. Visitors can continue browsing while updates are processed slowly in the background, preventing connection timeouts.

Configurable Behavior: Administrators can define which parts of the site remain accessible and how the update process interacts with user sessions. This offers more control than a simple on/off maintenance switch.

Prevents Update Failures: By managing the update pace and keeping the environment stable, the tool reduces the risk of update failures that can occur when processes are interrupted or time out on busy sites.

Simple Integration: The plugin works by modifying how the CMS handles its maintenance mode flag, making it a straightforward addition to existing management workflows for updates that take considerable time to complete.
