While the page is loading, the slider is completely frozen.

Hello,
The blank slider issue is fixed, but now a different problem occurs:
While the page is loading, the slider is completely frozen.
Only the first slide image is visible
Navigation arrows do not appear
Slider cannot move or swipe
It stays unresponsive for 8–10 seconds
After the entire page finishes loading, the slider suddenly becomes active
This looks like the Woodmart slider JS file is blocked until full page load (render-blocking or late initialization).
Lazy load is disabled, all optimization plugins disabled, CDN disabled, tested on different devices.
The issue happens only with Woodmart’s native slider.
Could you please test this on your side as well?
I can provide temporary admin access if you need.
Hello,
Navigate to Theme Settings > Performance > Preloader and enable it. This way, the preloader will show until the entire page is fully loaded.
Please refer to this screenshot: https://ibb.co/3mgd6dr1

Hi, thanks for your reply.
But enabling the preloader is not a real fix for the issue.
The slider stays frozen for several seconds and only becomes active after the whole page finishes loading.
Could you please check the actual cause of the delay on your side?
Thanks.
Hello,
All sliders and their JS scripts are initialized after the document and all content is loaded. So the heavier the page, the longer the loading time. It is how all sliders work. The best solution here is to optimize your website as much as possible. And then you will not see such a delay in slider loading.
