Should I use sliders on my website?

What is the difference between a slider and a carousel?
A slider and carousel are NOT the same thing. A slider slides the images horizontally or vertically (usually horizontally) usually with a momentum effect. A carousel rotates the images radially and in a 3D feel by using distance and depth of field. They rotate on an axis where the image is always facing you.
What are image sliders?
An Image Slider is an animated WordPress design element used to display videos and images on a website. Like a slideshow, Image Sliders show one video or image at a time. The content changes when visitors click to see the next slide, or it changes automatically after a few seconds.
