As a navigation, you can use thumbnails, tabs, or bullets. Use it as an image slider, slideshow, HTML content slider, gallery, banner rotator, video gallery, carousel, or even presentation.

Royal Slider is focused on performance, accessibility, stability, and providing the best experience for users with any device. It doesn’t have a dozen of fancy transition effects, but types that it has work as fast and as smooth as current day technology allows. Script modular architecture allows you to exclude the parts that you don’t need from the main JS file to optimize it even more.
