This is a very useful plugin; thanks for your work on it.
I’d like to suggest a small feature enhancement to make it even more useful: simple enable/disable support via WP-CLI command. This would permit temporary lockout of new user-generated content or E-commerce transactions during cron-driven scripted operations such as backup or content import.
There's a useful example of an implementation of this feature for the WP Maintenance Mode plugin here on GitHub. An implementation for your own plugin could be somewhat simpler, I'd think.
