Turning on Column glider takes a second to load, looks messy

Using glider to make a slider out of the columns in a section is fantastic. However it takes a second to load, which isn’t a big deal down the page, but using it as a hero on the homepage gives a bad first impression.

I’ve tried turning on “Improved asset loading” but this hasn’t helped.

Is there any way to prevent all the columns showing at once before the slider kicks in?
