AddFunc Head & Footer Code

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

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

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 · 52% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

Reviewers keep calling it simple and quick to set up, and they single out per-page code insertion and the priority setting as what makes it beat similar plugins.

   You saved my life man. This plugin is much better than any other similar plugins (including Insert Headers and Footer). Thanks a lot! Keep the good work!

   Thanks for this plugin – I just wanted to add the Google Adsense script in the header, and I did it in minutes…:-) Very easy to use.

   There are other similar plugins I’ve used but this one wins by far. Being able to set the priority is a very useful feature. Also a nice detail is that —apart from allowing the addition of code in wp_head() and wp_footer()— it allows to put code after the opening body tag too. Thanks @joerhoney!

   Exactly what I needed, and nothing extra in my face, perfect use of the intended design of Screen Options. Excellent for those Facebook App Meta-Tags! I have a child-theme setup with many specialized templates and child Menus (about 10), and user-restricted content, and etc. – This is what you are looking for 🙂

   After testing various plugins with disappointment, this one helped me prevent my Google Adsense on certain pages and posts with ease. Thank you to the plugin developer for this work. Where can I donate please?

   Finally, a plug-in that adds scripts to the entire site or just a single page. Simple and gets the job done. Thanks!
