Limited availability during the holidays

Another busy year is coming to its end, and an exciting year lies ahead. In order to get ready for a fresh new start, our team will spend a few days' rest during the winter holidays. Over the holiday break, we will have reduced staffing from December 20th, 2024, to January 5th, 2025, so please be patient if you do not receive a response as quickly as you normally would.

We send our warmest wishes for happiness, health, and success throughout the coming year. Thank you for your continued support, and may you have a peaceful and blessed Happy Holidays!

    Hi !

    Love the slider, lot's of great features.  One of the features you mention is lazy load - but I'm not seeing that.  In my Network panel of the Google Chrome debugger, I can see that the last slide (and these are larger images) has to load before the first slide is rendered on the page.

    Is this intentional?  Am I doing something wrong?

    Thank you

    Hey Steve Mullen,

    In the new version of LayerSlider lazy load is enabled by default, that is why it cannot be found in the settings. The lazy load feature was reworked and improved (due to indexing and search bots) but it's still included to the plugin and working.

    The images from the last slide are not loaded. When the source code is generated the images appear there but they are removed on slider init. The plugin might start to load some images that are used in the slider but it is immediately cancelled for the images that are not on the first slide. This method will not slow down the site or generate extra traffic as we cancel these downloads.
