Wait, please tell me: how to hide the site from the PS during filling?
Blog on WP, but I don't want search engines to index it at the time of filling, because there will be a lot of changes (I'm sure). And in general, hide from robots for this time. What is the best way to do this?
If I enable the WP Maintenance Mode plugin, I enable the settings in it:
Allow search robots to index the site during maintenance? - No
Meta tag for robots - noindex/nofollow
then after the blog is launched - will robots visit the site? I understand that a 503 error is generated for the robot when trying to bypass. But isn't it dangerous in the future? Won't it hurt to have this code for a long time (2-4 months) for indexing in the future?
Enlighten a newbie please.

- Disable indexing in robots.txt
- Add noindex to the header
- Disable the site map
- Block access for unauthorized visitors so that only admins and editors can navigate the site, for everyone else there is one "coming soon" stub page
- When the site is ready for publication - open the sitemap, enable indexing, connect to Google / Yandex Webmaster Tools, submit the site to the queue for indexing.

1) Develop on a separate domain.
2) Index everything at once. Do not think that robots will instantly 100% index your site on the first day of publication. No one needs new sites, and robots index them with just such a speed and attitude.

Return a 404 on any request if it's not your IP/subnet.

I support Neverov. Closing the site from the PS for the time of filling is, to put it mildly, unconstructive, unless of course it is supposed to change the page addresses, or there is a place to be #Is the most cunning. Fill it calmly, change the content as you like, PS will understand what is needed - the site lives and is being actively improved. There will only be positives.
You can close to visitors, although it is also not necessary. Well, how many will you bookmark? It is very good if 15-20 percent, but this still needs to be earned.
If the site is on WP, then here is an instruction on how to correctly close it for a while for visitors https://starper55plys.ru/bez-rubriki/kak-zakryit-sayt/
