Insert Headers and Footers Code – HT Script

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 · 96% 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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   I really like the way this application allows you to specify individual names for code additions so I don’t have to search through the entire header or footer to find which code stanzas to modify.

   Very quick to add Google conversion tracking scripts to whole site and a single page. You need the Pro version to add scripts to single pages – it only costs £5 for a one-site licence.

   I wanted to add “Share this page” links to my webpages, this required me to different parameters in the header for each page. This program enabled me to specify the page tag and add the code. I tried a number of other programs but this is the only one that worked for me.
