 * The Soliloquy slider I built experiences a brief but disturbing flicker on page
   load in advance of the first image displaying. I created the following video 
   to display the “glitch” (link below). All of the images have been optimized. 
   Any insights with regard to the source of the glitch and how to fix it would 
   be helpful.

 * Hi [@jeaston](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeaston/) 🙂
 * I believe what you’re seeing there is what we call Flash of Unstyled Content.
 * This is the delay of loading the page before the stylesheets, script files and
   things of this nature have a change to not only load on the page but also apply
   their scripts and styles. This can happen on slower internet connections or on
   a site that has a lot of plugins and a theme that also loads a lot of script 
   files as well
 * You could try to use custom js to load in the slider after the page has completely
   loaded.
 * Something like this:
 * `jQuery(window).load(function() { // When the page has loaded jQuery(".soliloquy-
   outer-container").fadeIn(2000); });`
 * Would that help?
