AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Head & Footer Code is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Popular category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 51 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Head & Footer Code works
Show full descriptionShow less
Head & Footer Code plugin helps you add custom code snippets (JavaScript, CSS, or HTML) to the page even if you are not a programmer. It could be within the <head> (site verification code for various services, custom styles, meta or Webfont link), right after opening <body> (pixel tracking, analytics or heatmap code) or just before closing </body> tag.
Go to Tools → Head & Footer Code in WordPress Dashboard. Insert custom code to HEAD, BODY or FOOTER section (depending on what you have to do).
All magic is done by hooking to WordPress hooks wp_head, wp_footer and wp_body_open.
