This is an ultra-minimal no-frills responsive and accessible image carousel / slider.
There are many robust image slider plugins already. They work well and have a lot of features, some with even more features at the premium tier. 
I’m not saying that they don’t have their place but that sometimes they are excessive.
This plugin is for someone who just wants to have linked images scroll by in a loop on their website.
<h3>How To Use</h3>
No BS Image Slider works by leveraging what WordPress already provides, by creating a new custom post type and taxonomy.
<ol>
<li>To begin, create your slides by using the Image Slide type. Be sure to add a featured image, and provide a link in the link field. Captions can be supplied by filling out the exerpt.</li>
<li>Create a slider by adding an Image Slider taxonomy. This allows a slide to be in multiple sliders.</li>
<li>Use the No BS Image Slider widget to configure which slider you want displayed, and the duration of each slide.</li>
</ol>
A great <a href="https://planetjon.ca/4778/making-an-image-carousel-with-no-bs-image-slider" title="Making an image carousel with No BS Image Slider" rel="nofollow ugc">rundown of the plugin</a> is available on the Planetjon blog.
<h3>Shortcode</h3>
To manually insert a slider, use the shortcode [nbis]. 
You must provide at minimum the slider slug.
The shortcode attributes are
<ul>
<li>slider=”slug”</li>
<li>duration=”number” (seconds, default 5)</li>
<li>transition=”number” (seconds, default 1.25)</li>
<li>showcounter=”yes|no” (default no)</li>
<li>lazy=”yes|no” (default no)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Widget</h3>
A widget that exposes all of the above options is available.

No BS Image Slider

Being a minimalist, and needing a replacement for a slider plugin now abandoned, I found this plugin - and reading the description I thought "Wow, sounds great".

And it is. After installing it (it's a small but non-trivial learning curve to use) I downloaded and unpacked the source. I could hardly believe my eyes! One PHP file, 8.665 bytes; and one CSS file, 1.429 bytes. That's IT. And btw it's really well written, the author is obviously a good, modern programmer.

The sliders are custom 'tags', the slider images are custom posts (I think). Strange is, that you have to supply a 'Featured Image' and an image link for each slide, then it works - slides shown in the order of their creation. Just change the creation date to modify the order (untried).

One thing I found not so obvious in the UI at first: On hover over the slider then a 'paused' icon is displayed top left and the slider is indeed paused. As soon as the mouse goes away, the icon disappears and the animation continues. But at first I thought the paused icon was a button to click to cause a pause, and since it did not I thought the plugin was broken. Silly me, but perhaps there is a way to do it even more clearly?

It is now live on the homepage of a german apothecary.

BTW minimalists might want to pair this with WP Featherlight as a lightbox.

5 stars really well earned - thanks Jonathan!

Wow REALLY minimalistic

For displaying a light-weight image slider.

Accessibly plugin’s accessibility settings can also be opened using a TAB key shortcut on a keyboard. This is because many visually impaired users are browsing your site using keyboard navigation only — and this specific key is the most popular shortcut used among visitors who are using keyboard only navigation.
<h3>Web Content Accessibility Guidelines</h3>
When thinking about WordPress site accessibility, many people think only about how to become WCAG or ADA compliant, so website owners don’t get sued, which in our minds, is not the right approach to website accessibility standards. When your WordPress website is not accessible, you miss a large internet user base. We should strive to make your WordPress website and other WordPress sites accessible.
Web accessibility is not a sprint — it is a marathon. It is a continuous process that should require your attention whenever you are doing edits or posting new content on your entire site. Accessibility issues can arise almost anywhere and anytime if you are not paying enough attention. Whether it starts from sufficient contrast (Not having light text on a light background!), adding ARIA Labels, add skip links feature, or Closed Captions (CCs) on your WordPress site videos — that should be the first stepping stone when you look in the direction of web accessibility. Website accessibility starts with your input by resolving current accessibility issues on your website, which only then is followed by accessibility plugins or other accessibility tools. If you need assistance resolving accessibility issues, feel free to contact our plugin support, and we will assist you!
Other web accessibility tools can be helpful in the process of making your website accessibility work. For example, we always recommend using some accessibility site checkers from the official W3 website. Make your website accessible – your site visitors and potential clients will be thankful.

Accessibly plugin does not edit your website’s existing code or tweak your theme files. Add Accessibly Plugin to your site from the WordPress Plugin market, and you are good to go!
If you wish to edit your accessibility toolbar or Accessibly widget, head to your WordPress dashboard. From there, you will be able to change the Accessibly plugin’s colors to match your website’s branding, enable/disable accessibility features and change how your Accessibility plugin feels and looks. WordPress accessibility is not complicated; you must be willing to put in a little effort!
