The Hack Repair Guy's Admin Login Notifier

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

3 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 3 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank

Ranked about #13,300 to #16,400, alongside the other plugins at 100+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 23 months ago; the previous band took 16 months to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   Received a notification from The Hack Repair Guy’s Admin Login Notifier today that I had logged into a client website. That was news to me so I immediately took steps to secure the site. While I’m not sure just how they got in, I am sure that this plugin helped prevent damage since I was able to log the malicious entity out and go to work changing all of the credentials. Thanks again, Jim!

   This plugin is simple and perfect to help with the security of all my WordPress-based websites. It helps me to keep all the websites running WordPress secure against any unknown login and it sends me an email each time someone connects to the admin panel of my WordPress websites, making it easy to investigate any unknown login access. I’ve been using this amazing WordPress plugin for a while and I super recommend it if you are looking for something simple and easy to use. Thanks to that simple plugin, It’s easy to find out when someone login into the wp-admin, since this plugin will simply send an email alert to anyone authorized and properly configured into the settings to receive a warning alert by email each time anyone successfully logs in to the WordPress admin panel. All webmasters know how important is to keep the WordPress system up to date as the maintenance routine for the security and stability of the applied theme, and the importance to keep all the used plugins properly updated to keep the website secure and stable. Now it’s easy to find out all successful login access from any editor, user, and/or admin accounts into the wp-admin, making it easy to investigate any possible issue situation related to any unknown access that could affect the security and stability of a secure running website running under WordPress system.

   Knowing when an admin user logs into your site is critical to security and this plugin does it perfectly. I handle security professionally for many sites and while other plugins may have this function as a feature, there are many times all the other features of those plugins cause problems or the plugin itself cannot be used. If you host with WPEngine or other WordPress dedicated hosting providers you will know what I am talking about. Use this instead.

   Very useful plugin. In addition to the hack use case, it could also be helpful to send you an alert if you have given your clients a “just in case” Admin user.
