 * We are using layer slider. Currently we are using 8 slides.
 * Please suggest
 * 1) What is the standard (maximum) number of slides we can use to increase the
   performance
    2) What is the standard width and height we need to give for banners
   3) Any other way to increase performance
 * Thanks

 * This is just my opinion:
    1. The number of slides depends a lot on the file size of the slides but the number
       does matter. In my sites I try to limit the number to 10 or less.
    2. There is no ‘standard’. The dimensions depend on your theme.
    3. One important way to increase performance is to resize your images to the proper
       dimensions and quality. In general, try to resize the dimensions to the exact
       size your slider needs and reduce the quality of the image to get the filesize
       to less than 100KB (some developers recommend less than 50KB). See [this article](http://wordpress.mcdspot.com/2014/08/08/photo-basics/)
       for my suggestions.
