Slidario is built to keep pages fast: its CSS and JavaScript load only on pages that show a slider, images lazy-load, and YouTube or Vimeo videos load only when a visitor presses play. This is free.
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Load assets only where needed | Always on. Slider files load only on pages with a slider; the dashboard shows on how many pages. |
| Lazy load images | On by default. Images further down the page load when they scroll into view. |
| Load videos on click | Always on. The video player loads when the visitor presses play. |
Defaults for new sliders
New sliders start with Autoplay off, Arrows on and Dots on. Change the defaults here; each slider can still change them.
If a caching or optimisation plugin delays JavaScript, Slidario waits for it and starts the sliders as soon as the files arrive.
