target homepage only with if statement.

if ( is_front_page() or is_home() )

}

if your home page has page/2 page/3 then use the following to display the slider on only page 1 of the homepage.

if ( is_front_page() or is_home() && ! is_paged() ) {

}

Important to note, that I used or for a reason. It's more lightweight than || and && so the first one will be checked first and than compared to the result or ! is_paged().
