Turbo Admin

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.

5 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 4 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank

Ranked about #17,400 to #18,100, alongside the other plugins at 80+ 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 21 Oct 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 27 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 90.

   Turbo Admin is a fantastic command UI for WordPress. Instead of installing the plugin everywhere, you can just use their browser extension. It’s clean, fast, and makes site management so much easier. Really one of the best tools I’ve added to my workflow.

   Turbo Admin has made me feel like a true power user. It’s like Alfred for WordPress, making it so much quicker to navigate the admin dashboard. The command palette is brilliant, speeding things up with just a few keystrokes. Plus, the Barkeeper keeps the admin bar clean, and the notice-hiding feature is a lifesaver for clearing up all those cluttering plugin notices. Honestly, I think this feature should be part of core WordPress. If you want to work faster and have a more organised dashboard, this plugin is a must-have. I also grabbed the paid extension, which was worth it for managing multiple sites without extra installs. Highly recommend—solid 5 stars!

   Like Alfred search, but for WordPress. This is amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I’m always too lazy to review plugins, but considering the massive amount of time and mousing you just saved me, I had a few spare minutes. Hard to believe something like this existed under my nose all the while I’ve been screaming at the computer when navigating the terribly designed wp admin. Did I say thank you? Thank you. 🙂

   It’s a huge time saver, which is important when you’ve got a busy schedule and are searching for something specific in the admin. It also means that you’re spending more time on your design instead of searching the admin for settings. So, I think it’s important to take these helpers to save time. Could be in core for my taste with an official API to extend such a helper.

   I searched for this solution, and tried a couple of plugins. This one has won me over. Easy to use (especially since you can choose your own shortcut keys) and looks and works perfectly. Massively time saving. Great work!
