Best practices ✔️
Keep text readable
Ensure that the text is legible on various backgrounds. Use Image overlay opacity setting to make the text stand out.
Avoid overloading with too many slides
While it’s tempting to showcase multiple products, keep your slideshow concise. Too many slides may overwhelm visitors. Focus on your most important products or promotions and make sure each slide serves a clear purpose.
Enable preload image for faster loading
Use this option for sections that appear above the fold (i.e., sections that are immediately visible when a user lands on the page).
This can be particularly beneficial for improving your site's load time and reducing Largest contentful paint (LCP), which is a key metric for website performance and SEO.
By preloading the image, visitors will see your slideshow content almost instantly, improving the user experience, especially for those with slower internet connections.
