Maury Markowitz Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I have an image slider on my home page, like so many of you. I'm on a MacAir. I have noticed that when the main page of my site is open, the CPU load apparently goes through the roof. I notice this indirectly, as the fans slowly spool up and my battery drains. I'd like to start narrowing this down. Is anyone else on a Mac and has this problem? What about alternate browsers? Other platforms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 what kind of slider you use? sometimes javascripts / flash banners overload the CPU usage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maury Markowitz Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 what kind of slider you use? It's the out-of-the-box "Image slider for your homepage" module in 1.5.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dh42 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I would try to shrink the images. The first slider image is about 780kb, I would convert them to jpg's and shrink the files. That will free up a good bit of resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
