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!

BOOST

Doesn’t work with jetpack boost

Obnoxious Full-Width Ad on all Admin pages

Constantly showed a full-width ad across all admin pages. Clicking the little X in the corner did nothing. It kept coming back. Not even going to bother using it. Uninstalled.
