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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

I love this plugin. It allows you to add to <head> on per page basis, which not a lot of these script inserter type plugins do. I use this to preload LCP images on a per page basis, which helps improve your website’s core web vitals (better visitor experience, and improved rankings!). I had one issue, I messaged support, and got a reply AND A FIX in a very short space of time. I was impressed!If you need to do per page <head>, <body> or footer scripts on a per page basis, this plugin is a winner!

I was looking for an easy way to add some custom JavaScript and tracking pixels to my WordPress site without digging into theme files—and this plugin did the job perfectly. The Header and Footer Script Adder is incredibly straightforward. Just copy your code, paste it into the header or footer box, and you’re good to go. It even lets you add scripts to individual pages or posts, which is super useful for things like conversion tracking. What I really like: Super lightweight – doesn’t slow down my site at all. No complicated setup – very beginner friendly. Works across themes – I switched themes recently, and all my scripts still worked without any issues. Honestly, it’s one of those plugins that does one thing and does it really well. No clutter, no unnecessary settings—just clean and effective. If you need to insert scripts without breaking your site or getting lost in code, give this plugin a try. It’s now one of my go-to tools for every WordPress project!

I’ve been using the Header and Footer Script Adder plugin for a few weeks now, and it’s been a lifesaver. I needed a simple way to add custom scripts like Google Analytics, chat widgets, and a few tracking codes to my site—without touching theme files or editing functions.php. This plugin does exactly what it promises. You can easily insert code into the header or footer of your entire site or even just on specific posts or pages. The interface is super simple and straightforward. No bloated settings or confusing options. Just paste your code and save—done! What I love most is that it works regardless of the theme I’m using, so I don’t have to worry about losing my scripts if I change themes in the future. Would recommend this plugin to: Beginners who need a quick solution for adding scripts. Developers who want a clean, no-fuss way to insert site-wide or page-level code. Anyone who wants to keep things organized and avoid messing with core files. There are no unnecessary features, and that’s honestly a good thing. It keeps everything lightweight and easy to manage. Great job to the developer! This one’s staying on my must-have list.

This is the reason I’m getting more and more frustrated with WordPress. Can’t add a simple <script> element to my site, without having to paddle through 5 lousy plugins… This plugin does fulfil its simple role (that I wouldn’t even need if WordPress had built in some elementary HTML customisation), but somehow decided that it’s appropriate to spam me and other admins with requests for donations on every dashboard page that we open – and I couldn’t disable this without deleting the plugin. Look, I understand you want to make some cash, but then please clearly mark this as freemium or make it a paid thing. This thing you’re doing now is just plain rude.
