How Lexiata XSlider works
Show full descriptionShow less
Lexiata XSlider is a tiny, blazing-fast image slider plugin built from scratch. Total footprint: under 200KB on disk, with a frontend payload around 8KB (CSS + JS combined). No bundled libraries, no jQuery on the front-end, no third-party services.
Why XSlider?
Most slider plugins ship with hundreds of templates, layer animations, and features you will never use — and your visitors pay for every kilobyte. XSlider keeps only what you need:
Clean image sliders with optional click-through URLs
Horizontal slide and fade animations
Autoplay, drag, keyboard navigation
Arrows + bullets, fully customisable
SEO-friendly markup with proper alt text and ARIA roles
Lazy initialisation (the slider boots only when scrolled into view)
Style via CSS classes + the WordPress Customizer (Additional CSS)
Native Gutenberg block, Elementor widget, shortcode, and PHP function — insert a slider in any editor or builder
Built for WordPress agencies and freelancers by Suresh L. Bamunusinghe at Lexiata.lk — battle-tested in production sites.
Key features
Up to 8 settings tabs — General, Size, Controls, Animations, Autoplay, Optimize, Slides, Developer
Image and Blank slides — Blank slides support a custom background colour
