      Hi,

      I created a site with Epik theme at http://joasushi.com.
      I am using Layer Slider plugin for Slide with options of Full Width and Responsive.

      Whenever, I go to the home page, slider comes up a little slow.
      I mean when I go to Home, Header and Footer comes out first and slider comes out right shortly after then.
      It is very short time lag but annoying.

      How do I resolve this issue.

        You need to check out the slider settings, contained within that plugin. It’s not the theme.

        Second..did you optimize the photos for the website? If you are using huge files (resolution) you will get sluggish results. I have a fast fiber optic internet connection, but anyone using a slow DSL is not going to stay on your site waiting for the photos to load.

        BTW. I’m hungry now. Great looking Sushi.

          @intelisystems Your site seems to show up pretty fast for me personally. But Andy is right, you would need to contact the developer of that plugin if there is an issue with that plugin since they created it and they would know best how to fix it. But again, your site is loading fast and the plugin is loading Instantly on my end. I’m not seeing the same issue. Everything looks fine to me.

            For those who view your site with a fast Internet connection, your site may seem to load quickly….but for most people, there’s going to be a problem…because the images in your slider are way too big.

            For example…I downloaded one of the images and it weighs in at 1.7MB. That’s huge.

            I re-saved that image as a JPEG file and compressed it to a moderate degree, and was able to get it down to approximately 150KB…which is only about 10 percent of your original…which means it will load a *lot* faster…and for all practical purposes the smaller JPEG looks just as good as your original.

            As Andykev said, most people will not wait for all that stuff to load.

            If you’re not sure how to optimize your images, just Google something like “optimize images for web”…and you’ll get a lot of helpful information.
