10 fast loading accordions for your next project
Here is a list of 10 accordions that I have chosen on the basis of their small code size and thus having a fast loading speed. In spite of the small code size, all have very good smooth sliding effects.
Horizontally expanded CSS based Accordion image slider.
It is a CSS3 based horizontal accordion slider which is also responsive, which expands the images horizontally on mouse hover. While loading it on hand held devices, it automatically transforms itself into a vertical slider so that it can fit well on small screens.
