Header and Footer Scripts

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 · 56% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

   One of the most useful plugins. I was looking for a plugin that allows adding Metadata. Then I founs this, and it is very useful. Thanks a lot for your efforts guys. P.S. Thank you for the last update. It corrects some errors.

   I’ve recently switched themes, and my previous theme allowed me to add custom CSS directly from the page editor. Unfortunately, my new theme lacks this feature. This plugin appears to be the only one that restores that functionality, enabling me to inject CSS specifically for individual pages. While other plugins offer global injection, which is certainly useful, I find that for unique pages like the homepage or special types, it’s essential to have the ability to add targeted styles without affecting the rest of the site. This plugin is a great solution for that!P.S. No bacon was saved during or after this message. Nom nom nom. lol.

   I like that the plugin is up to the point and does what it is supposed to do. However, I believe it vulnerable to hijacks and injections. Since I’ve started using the plugin, some ads appear in new tab once I click on a link to the website. So I uninstalled the plugin and now will look for another solution.

   I have used this plugin on several sites, works great, simple interface & I like it a lot. It seems the plugin has not been updated in over 2 years. Possibly it did not need an update. However, are the Authors of the plugin still active in case there is a problem at some point ?
