    Hi,

    I'm just using one image on the simple slider www.moorlandplastics.co.uk but it's loading very slow. Is there anyway to help resolve this please? I don't know coding, so any indepth info without technical jargon would be excellent. Thanks

    The slider loaded immediately when I visited it. Also, you only have one slide which makes the loading process even faster.

    I always recommend using a Cache plugin. This will speed up any wordpress installation:

    Hi Mike,

    Pingdom Tools shows a problem with the anythingslider.css showing a massive drag of nearly 3 seconds. Is there a way I can disable this?

    You can combine your stylesheets if you'd like. Just copy/paste them all onto the style.css file and remove the @imports at the top that reference multiple stylesheets. Loading them all on one stylesheet will lessen server requests. Note: The anythingslider.css file is only 6KB and should not effect anything, just a basic css stylesheet.
