It would be very nice if you use SwiperJS as the gallery/slider/post slider of choice.
You can load multiple instances on a page without any lag problems!!

Also, instead of using get_posts/wp_query to render dynamic post, Why not use the WP REST?

  Hi Sam,

  Thank you for your message. We use slick and at the moment we don't intend to change it. However, we have taken note of your proposal and will return to it when necessary.

  Thanks Alex. For your bold statement... Are you a developer may i ask?

  As a developer, I've found that Slick is not lightweight as many may think.

  I've added 6 sliders on my page and the page took forever to load!!!!
  
  if you look at the example link sent: https://swiperjs.com/demos/
  
  There are many sliders on a single page and no heavy load. OWL slider is another that is lightweight.

  Hi Sam,

  I'm not a developer, but the answer above was agreed with our developers. I understand what you mean and we will discuss this with the team.
