 * Hello,
 * i’m having a weird issue. When i use your plugin it slows my Website down extremely–
   upwards of 3 to 4 seconds. Immediately after uninstalling the Plugin i was at
   full capacity again. This was constant for about five-ish days. I chose not to
   use the plugin anymore and since came up with another idea, but maybe there’s
   something to look into? It affected not only the page where the slider was put(
   Homepage), but even pages without the slider we’re about 1-2 seconds longer in
   load. Also gone immediately after uninstalling it.

 * Hi [@gooloode](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gooloode/)
 * The issue you are describing could be the result of multiple things, e.g.:
    - you used many images
    - or the images you are using are not optimized, ( e.g. if their quality is 
      too high that could increase the rendering time or if their file size is too
      large that will increase the downloading time. )
 * As you see in our documentation:
    - [https://smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1925-how-to-speed-up-your-site#why-slow](https://smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1925-how-to-speed-up-your-site#why-slow)
 * you can use the built in features of the browser to figure out why the page loads
   slower.

   If this didn’t help you in figuring out the cause of the problem, then please
   share the URL of your website so we could look into the underlying issue ourselves.

 * Hi Laszlo, sorry for the late reply.
 * I actually used 3 optimized, compressed WebP Images with the Slider that is built-
   in as a demo, because i actually really liked the look of it. I also added async
   in the settings and made sure that speed optimizations we’re enabled. Since the
   issue still happened on my main site, i had to get rid of the plugin. I tried
   setting up a staging site for you to look at, but that didn’t work.
 * So i used the very first setting the plugin comes width. 3 images (all below 
   10kB in WebP) in 3 slides in 1 slider on the main homepage. In the Framework 
   added async to the Script and added a preload.

 * Hi [@gooloode](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gooloode/)!
 * That 3 image slider shouldn’t cause this kind of issue, so if you would ever 
   consider using our plugin again on a public page, where you would see the issue
   come back, please let us know and we will take a look at what’s going on!
