Biggest opportunity: Swap “google analytics” and “facebook pixel” for “header and footer” and “headers”. “google analytics” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “header and footer” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “facebook pixel” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “headers” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →5.9%
of downloads still active
At least 7K of 117.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Social plugin keeps 0.5%, across 1,277 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Social plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 4 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Swap “google analytics” and “facebook pixel” for “header and footer” and “headers”. “google analytics” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “header and footer” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “facebook pixel” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “headers” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

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.

I am very satisfied with this plugin. Ultra-simple using and makes exactly what it should.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ gkwpdev5.5y ago
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.
