Making header sliders load faster

    Hi,

    Most of all my SS3 sliders are in the header section of the page. Whenever the page loads, the slider is the last thing to load on the page. The slider sometimes only has 2 images, and are not big sliders in general.

    Is there any way I can make the sliders load quicker on the page, as it is a bit annoying for customers to wait whilst the slider loads (otherwise our site loads quite fast).

    Thanks

    Hi @dav74!

    I’m sorry, but our system works that way, that our slider has to load last, because we are positioning everything based on the loaded CSS and JavaScript codes on the website, so we have to wait until your website is completely built up to know how big our slider can be and where the layers should be.

    The best I could suggest is, that you could try to debug on your page what is loading for how long and you could try to improve its speed:

    and then with the page’s loading our slider would show up faster too.

    Many thanks Gabor. OK now I understand 🙂

    Actually I think the issue is mainly on WooCommerce pages. Thats a bit harder to improve on, as WooCommerce is not the lightest of plugins. Have a great weekend !
