AgentPress homepage slider

[dbellmaine]

This is for Badlywired. I also need to make the home page background image "slide", and I utilized the code snippet you provided above:

change js/backstrech-set.js
to contain, and the paths to your own images

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
	$.backstretch([
      "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/515046/www/outside.jpg"
    , "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/515046/www/garfield-interior.jpg"
    , "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/515046/www/cheers.jpg"
    ], {duration: 3000, fade: 750});
});

This works awesome, however the initial load for the first image is extremely long, to the point of not usable. Any suggestions of how to get around this?

I'm giving my 5-year-old Agentpress site a slight update, you can see the dev site here

Any help is appreciated!

Probably just the size of the images.Loads fast second time for me due to caching.

There probably better ways to handle it from a performance point of viw, ( maybe not use backstretch at all ). Use css 'cover' for the first image and then delay loading of a js script to load after.
