Slider plugin is blazing fast

One of the few sliders that doesn’t slow down my homepage. Optimized CSS and JS delivery makes a big difference.

Great little plugin

Great little slider plugin and absolute stellar support. I needed a custom CSS class to place the slider in a certain spot on the page and tech support sorted the problem beautifully. Five stars!
