In today’s post, we’ll cover everything you need to know about how to create a slider in WordPress. As always, here’s the video guide: What Is a Slider in WordPress? A slider is a super common website design element that showcases text, images, and videos by “sliding” from one slide to the next.  They’re commonly used on business and portfolio websites.  There are a ton of great free sliders to choose from, but you can also find some really nice paid sliders, too.  Sliders can be programmed to run slideshows automatically, the moment someone hits your website – switching to the next slide every couple of seconds.  Or, sliders can be static and let readers click a small arrow, for example, to swipe to the next slide.  Some websites use sliders to display their most recent posts. They’ll usually add a link to the slides so that if someone wants to read the article, they can simply click the link and go to the content.  One thing to keep in mind with sliders is that they may slow down your website a bit when it\'s trying to load a bunch of images or other content. But this can be mitigated by speeding up image loading speeds. Another potential issue is mobile readiness. Google now prioritizes websites that are mobile-responsive, so you should make sure your website is made for mobile regardless of whether you use a slider or not.  But if you do use a slider, you have to make sure it’s responsive as well so it doesn’t look weird on mobile devices, ruining the customer experience, and doesn’t match Google guidelines, reducing your SEO impact.  But with all that said, sliders offer many benefits.
