From the **Autoplay Speed** field, set how many milliseconds the carousel waits before advancing to the next slide. A lower value moves faster; a higher value moves slower. Use a value between 2000 and 5000 milliseconds for a comfortable viewing pace on content-heavy carousels such as testimonials or case studies.

With the Carousel Anything block in Nexter Blocks, you can also turn your carousel into an infinite loop. [Learn the process](https://nexterwp.com/docs/carousel-infinite-loop-scroll-in-wordpress-carousel-slider/).
