 * Hey there,
 * I’ve just updated Elementor to latest version (3.19.0, free version), and I see
   the following warning in Chrome DevTools’ Console:
   **“Google Maps JavaScript 
   API has been loaded directly without loading=async. This can result in suboptimal
   performance. For best-practice loading patterns please see [https://goo.gle/js-api-loading&#8221](https://goo.gle/js-api-loading&#8221);**
 * Please take a look.
 * Kind regards,
   thwp

 * Hi, [@thwp](https://profiles.wordpress.org/thwp/).
 * As the warning appeared after updating Elementor, it’s possible this is the result
   of a plugin or theme conflict. To rule out these possibilities, please try the
   following:
    - Ensure all of your plugins and your theme are up to date.
    - Deactivate all of your plugins except Elementor. If this solves the problem,
      gradually activate your plugins one by one, until you spot the problematic
      plugin.
    - Switch your WordPress theme to a default WordPress theme temporarily, and 
      see the warning disappears.
 * If the above does not help, check the following:
    - Clear your browser cache and check if the issue persists. Sometimes, cached
      scripts can cause conflicts. If the error is gone after clearing the cache,
      it was likely a caching issue.
    - If custom changes were made to your theme or custom code related to Google
      Maps was added, review those changes. Incorrectly implemented scripts in custom
      code can lead to loading issues.
 * Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.
 * Kind Regards,
