Makes it so easy to use and doesn't seem to affect my page load

By ginaginagina on June 29, 2025

Really appreciate the work that the devs put into this - thank you!

Great Plugin

By kkhaynes36 on June 16, 2025

Effective and Uncomplicated!

Surprised this is FREE but glad it is!!!

By chesterfieldmanors on May 5, 2025

Crazy how awesome and useful this plugin is and was surprised they've been giving it away for free AND supporting it for many years. Will be buying their PRO version to support further.

Excellent

By KeithRowley on May 2, 2025

Easy to use and works perfectly. it stands alone for simplicity and usability.

Dependable and effective!

By wodobo on May 1, 2025

We've been using this tool for over 4 years and loving it. It makes my life much easier. I was just using it again today and realized I'd been entirely ungrateful because I wasn't taking time to write a review, but it's pretty epic and useful and easy to use. Super stable as well.

Brilliantly Simple

By mikeymu1 on January 13, 2025

This plugin is just what anyone needs if they want to add code snippets in the header of footer of their Wordpress website. It simply did everything I wanted it to do and I am glad I found it. I have used it on more than one website as a result.

HFCM is a safe, reliable time-saver!

By onesoulphotography on January 5, 2025

Too many plug-ins try to solve all the problems. HFCM does one thing and does it well. It allows me to create, manage, and deploy website header or footer code quickly and easily. My website has grown in content over the years, and without HFCM, it would be quite a challenge to maintain header and footer code page by page now.

Pretty Decent Plugin

By anthonyf79 on December 10, 2024

If you don't want to take the chance of breaking your theme like me, this plugin is an effortless way to add code to headers and footers of your website for fb pixel, google ads, etc. It also makes it easy to manage the codes you do insert so that you can see a list of everything on your site. It works. It's straightforward. A monkey could figure it out after a brief time. Simple works for me. 5stars

Does what it says it does

By disco2000 on November 4, 2024

All good. Thanks a lot.

Nice plugin!

By kalagan80 on September 19, 2024

I used to use sogo but it is no longer kept up to date. With HFCM, the approach is different but just as effective. Switching between the two was just laborious… 😒
