Instant X links proved the idea: keep one tab warm, route clicks into it as in-page navigations, and a 3.5-second cold boot becomes about half a second. Traders used it and immediately asked the obvious question — why only X?
No good reason. So Turbo is that same mechanism applied to every destination you actually click from a terminal, plus a second, quieter half that nobody demos: making PaperTrench cost the host page less.
The warm families
Instant terminal links
Axiom, Padre and GMGN token links clicked on another terminal now open in that terminal's kept-warm viewer. If you are on Padre and click through to the same token on Axiom, Axiom is already booted when you arrive.
And a fix that belongs to the same family: a positions-bar hop to another terminal no longer replaces the tab you are on. You clicked to go look at something, not to lose your seat.
Instant pump.fun & Solscan links
Same deal, opt-in, with hover prefetch. These two pre-warm rather than waiting for first use, because checking a mint on Solscan is the click people make while a decision is still open.
Ctrl/click always bypasses the viewer and opens a normal tab — the same escape hatch Instant X links has always had.
Up to two muted background viewer tabs. Terminal viewers appear on first use; pump.fun and Solscan pre-warm. Off by default, and the toggle says what it costs before you flip it.
That is the whole bill. No new permissions, no telemetry, no remote switches.
The half nobody demos
An extension that overlays a trading terminal is a guest on someone else's page. Every frame it parses, every layout it forces, every millisecond it spends is taken from the site you are trying to read — and it is taken hardest exactly when volume peaks, which is exactly when you are trying to act.
Three fixes, none of which you will ever see:
PaperTrench off costs the page nothing
A feed-demand gate. When no consumer exists for price frames — overlay disabled, wrong page, chips off — the bridge drops them before the body copy and before the JSON parse.
Zero parsing donated to the host site when nothing is listening.
Previously the frames were read, copied and parsed, and only then discovered to have no audience. Turning PaperTrench off is now genuinely free, which is the only honest meaning of an off switch.
Chips stopped fighting the page for layout
Screener quick-buy chip positioning now runs in read/write phases with diffed style writes. Reads are batched, writes only happen when a value actually changed.
Before, every reposition interleaved measuring and mutating, so the browser had to recompute layout repeatedly — and it thrashed hardest at volume peaks, when rows are moving fastest.
The dashboard stopped re-reading everything every 4 seconds
The old refresh loop reread your entire dataset on a timer regardless of whether anything had changed. Now it refreshes the instant your data changes, naps while hidden, and leaves the recordings database alone unless a new replay actually landed.
A dashboard on a background tab used to keep doing full work forever. That was a battery bug wearing a feature's clothes.
Receipts, measured on your machine
Simulated panel. Your own numbers will differ — that is the point of measuring them.
Every speed claim in this write-up is the kind of thing a product can assert and never prove. So the popup counts your warm versus cold opens and shows your median routing time — measured on your machine, stored locally, never sent anywhere.
If Turbo is not helping you, your own receipts will say so. That is a strange thing to ship, and it is the same principle as everything else here: a number you can check beats a number you are asked to believe.
Blocking trackers on terminal pages was on the table and got cut. We measured it, and on these sites it does not move the numbers that matter — it just breaks things and lets us claim a speedup we cannot demonstrate.
A placebo with a progress bar is still a placebo.
Also in this release
Turbo shipped inside the biggest batch so far. The headline item is a correctness fix, not a speed one — paper fills could land up to ~13% away from the chart you clicked — and the batch also carried the floating Flex composer, an X-Ray dock fix, quick settings in the popup, and a positions bar that waits for slow-painting site headers to settle instead of ending up underneath them.
Note on versions: v2.7.0 was tagged and published mid-batch, before the last five commits landed — so that build is missing Instant terminal links, the dashboard refresh fix, and the X-Ray dock fix. v2.7.1 is the complete batch. If you grabbed 2.7.0, update.
Instant terminal links (opt-in)
Axiom, Padre and GMGN token links clicked on another terminal open in that terminal's kept-warm viewer, and a positions-bar hop to another terminal no longer replaces the tab you are on. Terminal viewers appear on first use (pump.fun and Solscan still pre-warm) — the cost stays up to two muted background tabs.
Instant pump.fun & Solscan links (opt-in)
The Instant X viewer idea, generalized: with the new toggle on, pump.fun and Solscan links from your terminal open into up to two muted background viewer tabs — already warm when you get there, with hover prefetch. Ctrl/click bypasses the viewer and opens a normal tab. Off by default; the toggle says what it costs.

The positions bar respects late headers
It now measures the site header until it settles, so slow-painting headers no longer end up underneath it.
The complete v2.7.0 batch
Housekeeping with a straight face: v2.7.0 was tagged and published mid-batch, before the last five commits landed. If you downloaded 2.7.0, update — it is missing the Instant terminal links, the dashboard refresh fix ("stopped re-reading everything every 4 seconds"), and an X-Ray dock fix, all described in the v2.7.0 notes. v2.7.1 is the complete batch; nothing else changed.
