Hi,
I’ve been using the Slider Revolution plugin for my site for quite some time, but in recent months I’ve noticed that it loads very slowly, and changes slides before the current one has even finished loading. I’ve done a lot of work to try and optimize it (each slide image is below 100kb, significantly less than before), but the issue persists.
I write this ticket in the hope that there may be some other issue not caused by the slider than can be fixed, so that I may keep it and not change. I want to continue to use this slider if possible, as it offers many more options than alternatives (options that I require), but if I can’t have it load quickly I’ll be forced to change theme. Below is a like to my site. If there is anything else you need from me, please just let me know.
Hi @eventswestjohn,
I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.
Please update the Jevelin theme that you are using on your website to the below latest version as described here https://support.shufflehound.com/updating-theme/
It seems your webpage is heavy therefore it takes time to load the slider.
