Pure html CSS slider better than …

  • hi!

    just wondering whether it is a. Good practice b. Better for performance and load times to use a pure html/CSS method for an image slider.

    reason being, when I use the various sliders (smart slider, theme based slider, etc,) I get awful load times and performance in general ( i.e sliders,/carousels load up a few seconds after the rest of the page).

    look forward to your advice and suggestions

    thank you

    It really depends on the specific implementation. But generally speaking, using CSS animations to rotate images should be more performative than JavaScript based sliders. But it’s feasible for a good JS based slider to perform better than a badly written CSS animation slider. Often the real bottle neck in sliders are the quantity and size of the images being displayed, not the nature of the slider itself. Hence you could see little or no performance gain with CSS animations.
