I wish I could give 10 out of 5 to the embed-code plugin. You can add separate header and footer codes for each post and page. One can easily add structured data to improve SEO using the embed-code plugin. You can also embed one code to all pages and posts (such as for google analytics.)
I received excellent support from the embed-code team. Some of my posts were not embedding intended codes. The embed-code support team dug deep into the issue, researched other plugins that caused the problem, and solved it.

It just works for all the site and for specific posts
Similar plugin I used to use didn’t work on some of my custom pages. This one works which is great! Thanks for the plugin…
This plugin is really easy to use for code embedding. You can choose to embed to the page header or to the page bottom (works on a whole site). Easy to understand and easy to use.
Very simple and easy to use. Simplest one I’ve seen. Good job.
