Views plugin allows you to create sliders and display them in different parts of your website. They can include content and custom fields. You have full control over what they display, how they look like and how they transition.
When you ask for help or report issues, make sure to tell us what content you want to display and how you want your slider to behave.

Problem: I am experiencing slow page load times, and it appears that slider caching is not working. When I reload the page, the slider loads the content again.
Solution: Slider caching doesn't hold on to content across page reloads, it holds on to content as the Slider paginates in a loop. You can improve the performance of this page by reducing the number of pages cached in each View, reducing the number of Views with automatic pagination, and upgrading to PHP 7. If any individual database queries take longer than 0.5ms, we can investigate those queries in more detail.
Problem: I would like to understand more about the caching mechanism in slider Views.
Solution: In a slider View, caching pages stores the contents of each page in memory while the User remains on the current page. Pages are delivered one by one so one page of results requires one AJAX call, two pages require two AJAX calls, and so on. Caching does not store the contents of each page in memory across page loads or refreshes. When you choose to preload next and previous pages, an individual AJAX request is triggered for each of those pages when the slider initially loads. If multiple AJAX requests are causing the initial load time to be unreasonable, I would consider turning off the Preload next and previous pages option, and/or the caching option. This will cut the number of AJAX requests that must be completed before the first page can transition to the next page, speeding things up at first. However it may also slow things down during transitions between pages later, so it's a bit of a trade-off.
Problem: I have a slider View that contains content of variable heights. I would like to prevent the page contents below the slider from moving vertically when the slider paginates.
Solution: Apply a fixed height to each item in the slider and use CSS text-overflow effects to prevent problems with truncated content.
The issue here is that the customer's AJAX pagination was not working, instead they were getting a full page refresh.
Solution:
In this case it was being caused by the Latest version of the ENFOLD wordpress theme. What I recommend is that you contact the theme author and let them investigate this issue.
