UltimaKit – Admin Enhancements, Security, Optimization & Site Tweaks

5/5 (2 ratings) 20 active installs Updated Sep 24, 2026

UltimaKit consolidates the admin enhancements, site optimizations, security hardening and everyday tweaks you would normally install a dozen separate plugins for — into one modular toolkit.

Every capability is a module you switch on or off individually. Nothing is forced on you, and a module you have not enabled contributes no code, no hooks and no queries to your site.

Everything is free

Since version 3.0.0 there is no Pro version. The modules that used to be sold as UltimaKit Pro, including the WooCommerce and Gravity Forms modules, are included in this plugin. A few Pro modules that were unreliable or unsafe were retired instead (see the FAQ).

Why a modular toolkit?

Every single-purpose plugin you add brings its own update cycle, its own settings page, its own autoloaded options and its own attack surface. Ten small plugins is ten things to keep patched.

UltimaKit gives you one plugin to update, one place to configure, and one codebase to trust — with 180 modules, all free.

Built to stay out of the way

Bundling a lot of features usually means bundling a lot of overhead. UltimaKit is engineered specifically to avoid that:

  • Disabled modules never load. A module that is off is not instantiated, its class file is never read from disk, and none of its hooks are registered.
  • Settings load in a single query. All module configuration is read once per request and cached, rather than queried module by module.
  • Module discovery is cached. The plugin does not scan its own directories on every page load.
  • Admin assets only load on UltimaKit screens. Nothing is enqueued on the rest of your dashboard, and nothing at all is enqueued on the front end unless a module you enabled needs it.

Content Management

  • Duplicate Pages & Posts — clone any post, page or custom post type in one click, including post meta, terms and taxonomies
  • Post & Page Order — drag-and-drop ordering for posts, pages and custom post types

  • SVG Upload — allow SVG logos and icons in the Media Library, sanitized on upload

External services

UltimaKit does not contact any outside service unless you switch on a module that needs one. These modules connect to third-party services:

  • Keyword Suggestion sends the keyword you type in the post editor to Google’s autocomplete service (suggestqueries.google.com) when you ask for suggestions. Google terms and privacy policy.
  • Pixel Tag Manager adds the tracking tags you configure to your site: the Google tag (googletagmanager.com), the Meta Pixel (connect.facebook.net, facebook.com) and the Pinterest Tag (s.pinimg.com, ct.pinterest.com). Only tags whose IDs you enter are added. Visitors’ browsers then send page-view data to those services. Google terms and privacy policy; Meta terms and privacy policy; Pinterest terms and privacy policy.
  • Broken Link Checker sends a request to each link in your content to check that it still works. Only the link itself is requested; no site data is sent.
  • Usage data (Freemius): when you activate UltimaKit you can choose to opt in to sharing usage data. Only if you opt in, your profile (name and email), basic site details (URL, WordPress and PHP versions) and plugin and theme events are sent to Freemius (freemius.com). Freemius terms and privacy policy.
