So I've gone through every process I can come up with, with no results... upon one's first visit to my home page, the slider loads funny. It appears to be pre-loading all the images before loading the "loader.gif", causing it to loop very quickly through every image, and then continue on with the normal execution of the slides. This is my observation anyway, in firefox, and sometimes safari and chrome. Any ides at possible solutions? A few notes: the total page size is 1.79MB, however the background image takes up 524KB of that itself. I've tried loading the page without the background with no better results.
These are page load results for my site: http://gtmetrix.com/reports/allurexpressions.com/0hQzYco3

There appears to be a brief delay concerning the fonts loading for the page as well... I'll note, my problem ONLY occurs on one's first visit to the page. After the page has been cached by the browser, it loads fine. It's a minor problem, but the first visit makes the first impression. Thanks for any help on this issue!
