Why go for Virtuemart custom plugin development?

Though there are hundreds of free and paid plugins available for Virtuemart but still the best solution is to opt for the custom creation of plugins. Two reasons which support this cause:

Incidences of phishing attacks through a poorly coded plugin are increasing day by day, so it is unwise to risk the security of your e- commerce store.

Another big disadvantage is that third-party plugins make your site heavy. As these plugins try to provide one-solution-for-all so there is a lot of unnecessary code which captures the space thereby decreasing the loading speed of your website.
