Responsive Image Slideshows - Recommendations?

[Gazley]

Hi there,

In the past, I've used RoyalSlider for slide shows but generally find it a bit "convoluted". I also use an image caching service that serves up the best images for the page/device/bandwidth and because a piece of JS fetches the images (based on html5 attributes), this can cause a few issues with slideshows.

I just wondered whether there is any particular slideshow used by PW devs that is considered to be really good?

I'd appreciate any recommendations!

Cheers.

I like this due it's minimalistic footprint.

Cycle2 works wonders for me. ResponsiveSlides is nice and clean, but lacks support for some features I tend to need (such as custom markup).

I used bx-slider for a while until I found out that with many slides it really starts to drain resources.

In windows taskmanager under the Tab performance I could see the bar go way up. So in chosing

an image slider check how much resources it is going to drain.

I've used Owl carousel with loading images via JSON (+ fancybox for the lightbox part):

ResponsiveSlides looks pretty neat, will try it in the next project.

I used Slick on several projects and it worked really well. There's also http://www.idangero.us/swiper/ which is similar to slick but with more options regarding the transitions and layout.

Another +1 for Cycle2. Easy to implement and customise.

Foundation Interchange js is a nice one too, truly responsive because it lets you use different image resolutions.
