We've made several improvements to the Carousel widget to enhance performance and user experience.
Performance Improvements
Optimized video loading: The carousel now uses smart lazy loading to improve page performance. Videos are only loaded when they're in or near the viewport, which means:
Faster initial page load times, especially for feeds with many videos
Reduced bandwidth usage for your customers
Smoother scrolling and navigation through large video feeds
The carousel automatically loads videos a few slides ahead of the current position, so there's no delay when customers navigate to the next video.
📌 Note: These performance improvements are automatic — you don't need to change any settings or update your widgets.
What This Means for You
Your carousel widgets will load faster, improving your store's overall performance
Customers on slower connections will have a better experience
You can confidently add larger video feeds to your carousel without worrying about performance
These updates are part of our ongoing commitment to making Moast widgets fast and reliable for your customers.
