I replaced all the images on my home and product pages (two highest volume pages), and I can see that the page loads noticeably faster. I will assume the image load problem is resolved until such time as I see it again.

I will also go through the rest of the site at a lower priority and replace any other PNGs-that-dont-need-to-be PNGs.

Thank you!

Hi Guenni007.

Main comment: I am very happy with layerslider and the way it behaves, my only problem is that it intermittently does not load the background image. I don’t know why, and I can’t reliably reproduce it. I have checked with my hosting provider, and there are no known issues with serving the site, loading or other issues. It is a mystery, but it has been happening on and off for 2 months and is not going away. I believe it is working 90% of the time or more, but not 100%. In terms of the form factor where I see the page with no image displayed, it is always full desktop with full width header. I don’t know if the problem is unique to that configuration, simply because I rarely check in mobile, only as a final test.

your Edit1: I followed these steps and changed the setting you recommended. Since the problem is intermittent, I am not sure how to measure the effect, except over time. Thank you for the suggestion.

your Edit2: I added the color section to preserve the space for the menus. When I remove it, the image goes behind the menu, which is not what I wanted. Maybe there is a better way to achieve the same thing?

Basilis, I am holding off on a press announcement until I have a reliably working home page on desktop and mobile, so any help is appreciated. I am not sure how to declare an intermittent problem solved, at least well enough to put into production?

As mentioned above, I managed to get the code working as described in the second post. If there is a better way, it would be good to know. I am including the link and password to the password protected page below.
