Remove Slider

[Eva]

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to remove the slider option from the homepage of the Bakery Pro theme.

I would like to remove it because of its impact on site speed, I am assuming that simply removing multiple images won’t be sufficient, is that correct?

My website is thehealthytart dot com

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi,

Kindly go to Appearance >> Theme Options >> Basic Settings >> Custom CSS Box:

Add this code there:

.slider-main { display:none;}
.header { background:#4c3c3c; position:relative !important;}

Hi Dave,

thank you, I still would like to keep a hero image but I don’t want all the code of the slider to be loaded in the background.
I am assuming display none would hide everything including a hero image and probably still load the code in the background and impact side speed, or am I wrong?

Thanks

Hi,

Kindly use compressjpeg.com or tinypng.com to reduce sizes and compress all your images and reupload them.

Lastly kindly use WP Fastest Cache plugin and ask hosting to have Zend Op Cache and PHP Server cache applied to your site or if they have NGINX available get them to use that.

With all the above steps i am sure your site will be faster. Theme is just part of the entire WordPress website ecosystem and our themes are coded to be faster.

Rest are all generic points i mentioned here.

Thanks Dave, we have done all the steps above or similar, I was just told by my SEO company to remove it.
The website speed isn’t too bad.
