Pre Load images in Fullscreen Slider? Eliminate Image Placeholder? Strobe effect

---

I am using Fullscreen Slider to display a slideshow of images and on initial page load every time I navigate to the next image a flash of white space is displayed a split second before loading the next image. This is the image placeholder. It creates a sort of strobe effect that is not desired. Is there any way to eliminate this image placeholder ? Or to pre-load the images in the fullscreen slider?

Once the images have been navigated to and loaded the strobe effect goes away. I want my site to behave this way always. Is this possible?

Dear @andrewbmcgill
Can you post a link to your website?
We will then have a look and inspect that!
Many wishes!

@mariusjopen Yes! the link is www.andrewblakemcgill.com

thank you !

Dear @andrewbmcgill
I cannot see the strobe error.
Is it on the welcome page?
Best!

Hi @mariusjopen thanks for checking. It seems to be working fine on Chrome but having a bit more trouble on Firefox. Firefox shows the worst strobing effect, but right now it's loading pretty fast. Try clicking through any of the projects on the project page on firefox to see what I mean: https://andrewblakemcgill.com/projects/

Dear @andrewbmcgill
ok. I can see it now…
Do you have any third-party plugins installed or CUSTOM JS code? Is it possible to deactivate it for a moment to see if the problem remains?
Is Wordpress and LayTheme up to date?
Many wishes!

@mariusjopen I only have ImageMagick engine and Real Simple SSl plugins installed. I turned on the feature to lazy load images when scrolling to them and now instead of a flash images that haven't loaded fade. Which is more pleasing. But still an issue that images are not loaded in advance and white space shows up in some cases.

Dear @andrewbmcgill
Ok, thank you for writing. We will have a look also with Armin and hope to get back to you as soon as possible.
Thank you for using LayTheme!

ok, i'll look into this and fix it

hey i just had time to look at this.

can you disable lazyloading images in "lay options" and try again?

You can also update fullscreen slider now and then it will preload the next/previous images of your slides if you have image lazyloading active in "lay options"

I just released the update
