  3. Viglink is a scam and website destroyer! I used the plugin as-well-as manually placing the code on my website and, my website had to be recreated. If something sounds to good to be true, follow your discernment, and avoid Viglink. Also, don’t fall for the videos online that make it appear as if Viglink is the best thing since sliced break, because this product destroys websites.
