    The other items on the page load before slider so since the slider is at the top the page appears to jump. It looks messy. I have disabled all the other plugins and this still occurs. Is there code in the functions.php or css that I can rearrange what loads first? This only occurs on the homepage. I am using Genesis framework with the Agency Pro theme.

    Thanks!

    Part of your issue is related to the fact that your images aren't optimized for the web. At over 1Mb, they are way too heavy. Google "optimize images" to learn how to reduce the overhead.

    Not sure what you changed, but the images are still too big. This is the size of the first image as reported by the browser: 1,153.65 KB (1,181,339 bytes). The size hasn't changed at all.

    That's weird I'm showing 188kb for all except one photo which is about 900kb. There is still no difference in the performance or loading. If it was the images then we should see some improvement at this point...
