Stop adding sh*t.

Should I add a carousel (slider)?

Does it benefit your user?

The simple answer is no. As well has having an affect on site performance, statistically carousels have low click through rates.

A study by the University of Notradam showed only 1% clicked a feature. Of those, 89% were the first position. 1% of clicks for the most significant object on the home page?
