Reply To: Noticeable negative impact of Revolution Slider on Google PageSpeed Score

[alex_2000]

Hello Rodrigo,

Thank you for the feedback.
I indeed have one slide/image and was using the slider due to convenience/better looks.

I have tried to use the section instead of the slider (as you proposed as well) but have encountered a few problems with it.
My goal is to have a section (or slider) that has one image as background and 3-4 text animations appearing on it.
The problems I have encountered using the “section” vs using a slider:

1. When the viewport is resized the section seems to be simply “zooming” the background image instead of attempting to “re-scale” the background image.
2. When the viewport is resized the text (set by animations) is not scaled at all. Meaning that the proportion between the text on a full hd screen and higher vs a smaller viewport is lost. For instance the h1 and h2 text is not scaled proportionally on a smaller viewport.

Bringing the above 2 issues together the revolution slider seems to be handling both points, significantly better (the image and the text animation are scaled appropriately).
Plus it seems that the “section” size (height) adjusts itself based on the elements/text content and not based on the size (height) of the background image.

Possibly the appropriate scaling of the background image and the text animations on it, can be achieved by using a “section”.
Could you maybe provide guidance / snippet on how to achieve that?

Thank you in advance!

Best Regards,
Alexander
