The slider is causing any page it is on to load incredibly slowly. Any insight as to why?

I have the slider installed on two of my pages, it is causing 15 + second load times.

I can't find previous issues here from other users, or answers anywhere else. Please help! We love the slider and want to continue using it.

That is strange. Can you post a link to the page?

The plugin is all the way at the bottom of the page. It is also located here: https://trademarkvenues.com/reviews/


Thank you!

Try switching over to the Advanced slider. It looks like it is waiting on the javascript for the regular slider before loading the rest of the page.

Thank you! I'll try that. How do I switch over to the advanced slider? I looked around a bit and couldn't find it.

Here you go...

That seemed to help a little bit, thank you! The slider is still causing 10+ second load times. I've had to remove it from one of the pages temporarily. It is still up here:https://trademarkvenues.com/reviews/

Any ideas as to what else it could be? Thanks for your help!

If I had to guess it would be the database call that is pulling the reviews from your WordPress database. To test try changing the slider so it only shows 3 reviews and is only 2 slides, so total of 6 reviews. Also, are you using a caching plugin? If you cache the page then it shouldn't have to make the database call to grab the reviews everytime the page loads.

Thank you, changing the sliders to 3 reviews and 2 slides helped!
