Must have to show a press review !
I’ve looked for this kind of plugin for a while and this one does perfectly what it has been designed for.Thank you very much !

Great plugin – exactly what I needed
As someone who curates content regularly, this plugin is really what I’ve been searching for. Thank you for it!

Terrible product design
Functionally this is good but no where are we told that the plugin uses Microlink API which has a limit of 50 requests per day. They don’t inform the user of this. Neither do they put up a message telling the user the limit has been reached !
This plugin is amazing!
I had been using a different plugin’s pro version (Inline Related Posts). But the site I was using it on is very large, 38 thousand posts and counting, and that plugin’s performance was becoming extremely erratic. All really needed was a plugin that would let me search for the post link I wanted to add, pull its title, image, and excerpt into a block, and add some custom styling. Visual Link Preview does exactly that! Thank you for making this plugin
