Assuming you haven’t turned off “Queries ON” on the Stallion Layout Options page, log in to your sites Dashboard, then go to the sites home page, scroll to the bottom and you’ll see something like this:

77 queries in 0.662 seconds (Memory Usage 3.91MB)

the above is what I see for my site (this one). Those are ‘very good’ numbers, though it’s not the actual loading time for everything since doesn’t take into account images.

This gives you an idea what WordPress and Stallion are doing, basically what’s happening on your site. If you see a LOT of queries (300+) you are probably using a plugin that’s poorly written and it’s causing a lot of database queries this will slow a site down. If you see loading time is taking 3+ seconds you’ve probably set something your host can’t handle or there’s another issue like a cheap host that’s over sold resources (not easy to figure out the cause).

This is a very basic check, doesn’t take into account images or other resources your page is using like ‘linking’ to Facebook, Twitter, Google+ (all those social media buttons are loaded from external sources, you have 30 loaded on your home page), Google AdSense, external images etc… Everything on a page has to load and if you have a lot to load or one or more external sources are slow it can cause a site to load slowly. If you had 10 images loaded on the home page and they are all 2MBs each, that’s a lot of data to load, looks like your images are around 30KB each, not that big, but there’s 10 of them so that’s 3MB of data to load in images. You might find for example in the bottom status bar of Firefox it takes a while for Facebook/Twitter scripts to load slowly. More things you use on a page more things that can go wrong.

If you find your site can’t handle everything you want to achieve you either have to remove features or pay for a better host, that’s assuming you haven’t made a poor choice with a plugin for example: there’s some plugins out there that are awful on database usage, I used one that added 300+ queries on most pages and 1,000+ on some, brought the site loading time to a crawl!!!

whenever I launch my site through any browser,its refreshing page many times..it looks like page is not stable I need to wait more than 2-3 min to view content.
So please let me know what is the issue and how to solve it.

As long as that code is there the Stallion Featured Slideshow won’t work correctly, the Stallion slider uses Jquery-min and you must have a plugin that’s loading Jquery and it’s causing a conflict.

Either disable the plugin or disable the Stallion slider, they won’t be compatible. As long as that code loads the Stallion Slideshow won’t work correctly.

The slider layout you want isn’t built into the Stallion slideshow code, you’d have to make major code modifications (I’ve not tried to code that layout, so have no code examples). Because of all the main Stallion layouts the Stallion Featured Slideshow PHP code is quite complicated, I had to take into account 10+ different sizes for the slideshow box (if under Stallion Layout you switch to a different Layout like double sidebars the slideshow gets smaller to fit), so you’d need to be proficient in PHP and CSS to achieve what you want, would be easier to find a slider plugin that does what you want and disable the Stallion slider.

For only the 1st slideshow image loading on the home page see this comment about Slideshow Jquery Conflicts

You also have javascript loaded for a slider plugin, my guess is you’ve installed a slide show plugin (Front Slider plugin?) that uses similar javascript to Stallion and they are clashing with the Stallion built in slider (I bet the plugin uses Jquery so it’s loading twice). Either disable the plugin or disable the Stallion slideshow.

I Have edited at two posts, added a Stallion Featured Thumbnail and ticked the Use In Featured Slideshow tick box, but still slideshow is not working. I am able to see only recent post featured image rather than both.
Below are my 2 requirements.
My requirement 1:
1. Multiple posts.
2. Each post has multiple images,one main image and multiple secondary images.
3. Slideshow needed only for main image.

My requirement 2:
Current layout:
One image covered whole featured image slide show bar & description displays at the bottom.
Expected layout:
Image at the right hand side and description at left hand side of the featured image slide show.

Kindly visit my site and provide me your suggestions and steps for rectification.

Thanks

its working now thanks a lot , please review

If you have set featured posts link to the post so I can confirm a Stallion Featured Thumbnail is associated with that post and Stallion thumbnail support is working correctly. You can check yourself, go to a category the post is in and check if it’s got the Stallion Featured Thumbnail as the thumbnail on the category page, if the thumbnail is set correctly you’ll see it.

I already found the plugins and deactivated it but still not work , please advice , thanks

http://www.bestslrcamerabuy.com/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.7.2

That’s Jquery 1.7.2 which is clashing with Jquery min 1.7.1 that the Stallion slideshow uses.

Jquery 1.7.2 will be loaded by one of your plugins, don’t know which. You have two choices find and deactivate the plugin that clashes with the Stallion slideshow feature or deactivate the slideshow.
