AH Footer Scripts vs Slidy

This small plugin moves all scripts (including jQuery) to the footer to help speed up page load times, while keep stylesheets in the header. Note that this only works if you have plugins and a theme that utilizes wp_enqueue_scripts correctly.

Slidy is a reponsive jQuery slider that uses slick carousel by Ken Wheeler and it’s fully integrated into WordPress, so it’s possible to add and administer slides via the Dashboard. You just need to set the image that you want to see in Slidy as the featured image in each post. Slides can be categorized and in this way you can have different sliders on your website. With the functionalities slick carousel brings, it is possible to create sliders in different ways, such as having multiple items unlike many sliders. Also, with the wide range of settings, you can customize your slider in various ways such as inifinite looping, mouse dragging, swiping, arrow key navigation etc. You can also add links to the individual slides via Add/Edit Slide interface. The slides are posts at the same time so you can use them as contents but you may have to edit your theme to view slide images. Note that this version doesn’t cover all functionalities slick carousel provided but the present functionalities are very sufficent for you to create awesome sliders.
