I purchased a new license just to get help with this question. 

It takes my site about 14 seconds to load. I have customers leaving the site thinking it is broken. My advertising on Facebook is not converting because the site isn't loading fast enough. What can I do to speed up the performance? Tried changing the "Performance Mode" but didn't seem to make a difference. All graphics have been optimized. Please help. Thanks!

thank you George. Can you tell me the name of the SVGs? The site doesn’t use any. How can I obtain a list of them or thumbnails. How can I check this?

thank you. There are many items that begin with “ls-project-(number)-slide-1.jpg. Are these generated by layer slider or should I delete them? 

Also, I see many files that are “data:image/svg+xml;…” I have no idea what these files are. How can I show where they’re being used?

All SVGs are copies of six shapes. Can you verify that these 6 shapes are Layer Slider shapes? and if so, is there a way to combine them so they are only 6 files and not hundreds of SVGs.

my website is made of  10 layer sliders. Is there a way I can turn them all off, then turn them on one-by-one to see which one is introducing all those SVGs?

I don’t know either. They are the only things on the page except the brown header bar at the top with links. All else is Layer Slider.

Hi George. A few questions.

1. Why does it sometimes load the same assets twice. See "double.jpg"

2. What are all the "ls-project.." files? It seems they are freeze-frames of some of the slides. Some are even freeze-frames of a version of the slide that has since been modified. Please see "ls-project.jpg". Are they generated on the fly? Where do they exist? They are not in the Wordpress media. Can they be deleted?

3. I have two versions of each slide. One for the desktop OR tablet, AND one for phones. I am controlling which is shown through the "hide below NNN/show above NNN" functions. I do this because the options given to automatically show and hide on devices only allows for the same version to appear on phone OR tablet AND one for desktop. a) Is there a better way to do what I want other than the "hide below NNN/show above NNN" functions? b) Even if I am seeing it on desktop and I do not resize the browser small enough to trigger my "phone" version, will it still load the asset for the phone version? Is there a way to prevent it?

Are  "ls-project...." files generated on the fly? Where do they exist? They are not in the Wordpress media. Can they be deleted?

I amusing different assets for phone/tablet and desktop.  a) Is there a better way to do what I want other than the "hide below NNN/show above NNN" functions? b) Even if I am seeing it on desktop and I do not resize the browser small enough to trigger my "phone" version, will it still load the asset for the phone version? Is there a way to prevent it?

Are the "ls-project...." JPEG files used to render the webpage? Can I disable these thumbnails from uploading? Collectively, they take up 4.7 MB.

Thank you George. I was able to figure it out. If you remove the thumbnail, nothing uploads, but then you are left with just the name of the slider as an identifier when looking at all your layer sliders in the Wordpress dashboard. My solve was to make my own thumbnails for each slider that are just a few kilobytes each.

My question is if when visiting the website, the layer slider does not display the thumbnail on the visitors screen, then why does it push it to the browser and force the user to download it? What purpose does delivering the thumbnail to the browser serve?

Hi George.

I have a slider way down on the page that is not visible on the initial page load. How can I set it to be complete and visible when the user scrolls down to it? I don't want it to load and animate once it appears in the browser viewport,  but as soon as the page loads.

Thank you George, the Start only in viewport setting worked perfectly. If I may suggest a future feature is to give the user an option if they want to upload the thumbnails or not. Their options presently are to delete the thumbnails from the file and have no visual way of identifying their sliders other than the name, or include thumbnails that are uploaded even if the skin does not use thumbnail navigation. None of my sliders use thumbnail navigation but I am forced to upload almost 5MB of them.
