fullscreen slider: slow load time + mobile: images dropping to bottom

[sarahmorrison]

Hello! I use a fullscreen slider as my home page and I have noticed the load time has slowed down dramatically recently.

I have recently installed the following plugins so don't know if this is where my problem lies?
– Converter for Media
– Docket Cache
– W3 Total Cache

I had thought that adding the above plugins would speed up my site but instead the opposite has occured?

Also;

My mobile homepage has all images set to 'Align Middle' but they have now all dropped to the bottom of the screen.

I also have new issues with my carousels in project pages but I will write this in a seperate post.

My website;

Many thanks for any help! :)

@sarahmorrison hey, have you had a look at this page: https://laytheme.com/documentation/speeding-up-your-website.html

might be some useful tips here. Also, perhaps you need to update your carousel if you haven't already?

@alasdair17 thanks so much for your help!

I removed W3 Total Cache and installed WP Fastest Cache and it seems to have resolved my carousel issues – phew!

I'll work through all the other tips as well. Thanks again.

Hey @alasdair17

Site is speeding up nicely, thank you!

As for the mobile homepage images not aligning to middle – I deleted all the images (unsynced from desktop) and reintroduced the images – has also done the trick!

@sarahmorrison no worries at all, glad it's all fixed :)
