Stop Using Slideshows on Your Website Home Page

Image slideshows on a homepage can negatively impact user experience and SEO for several reasons:

  • Require additional loading and rendering time.
  • Tend to be ignored by the users and generate very low engagement.
  • Can confuse search engine crawlers.
  • May distract users from the main CTA.
  • Can lead to a poor mobile experience.
  • It can create a cognitive overload for visitors.
