Responsive WordPress Slider Plugin
We believe that you shouldn’t have to hire a developer to create a WordPress slider. That’s why we built
Soliloquy
, a drag & drop
slider plugin
that’s both EASY and POWERFUL.
Soliloquy
allows you to create beautiful responsive image and video sliders for your WordPress site in minutes, not hours! Add carousel sliders and much more in no time.
User experience is our #1 priority. That’s why we put in extra effort to ensure that Soliloquy is the best responsive
image slider
for WordPress. This means that your slideshows will always look great on all devices (mobile (iOS or Android), tablet, laptop, and desktop).
Soliloquy is highly optimized for web and server performance because we understand the importance of speed when it comes to SEO and conversion. According to multiple independent speed tests, this is the
fastest plugin
in the market of its kind.
Soliloquy Pro
This plugin is the lite version of the popular Soliloquy Pro plugin. The Pro plugin comes with all the features you will ever need including templates and sliders for: PDFs, WooCommerce, featured content, carousel, Lightbox, thumbnail navigation, Instagram, image protection, and tons more.

I used to custom build rotators for every project since I hadn’t found a tool with the flexibility I needed. Now I have Soliloquy. It
works great out of the box
, has an easy-to-use interface, and gives you the power to customize everything with hooks and filters.

Reviews
After I had problems with another slider plugin (crashed my website after an upgrade), I switched to Soliloquy. It was simple to get my slider back running, even with the free version. Plus there’s support for lots of more complex effects, which I may take advantage of in the future.
Easy to use ! result on site perfect !

Bravo !
Highly recommended.
I have tried several of the other sliders – including Gutenslider, the worst of the lot – and this one is an absolute breeze (once you have realised you are creating an element that sits alongside the post you are working on). Just being confident that your captions will turn up with the pictures is a huge relief, and you can edit them on the fly. Honestly, I can’t think why anyone would use another plugin once they have tried this.
Always produces good quality results
I keep using it on my clients’ sites
