# Go Dark

"Go Dark" is a general-purpose, SEO-friendly protest and blackout utility for WordPress. It allows website owners to temporarily take their site offline with a highly customizable splash screen in protest of digital rights, climate change, net neutrality, or other custom causes.

When active, the plugin returns a `503 Service Temporarily Unavailable` HTTP status code to preserve search engine rankings and sends a `Retry-After` header telling search engines when to return.
