Title: Google Maps Load Time / Page Speed Last modified: February 28, 2018 --- # Google Maps Load Time / Page Speed * Resolved [simon_im](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simon_im/) * (@simon_im) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-maps-load-time/) * Everything thing else on the page loads in under 1 sec. * Google Maps accounts for over half the page requests and adds over 1 sec to the page load time. * Is there anything we can do with Litespeed Cache to lazy load (or similar) the map displayed via Google Maps API? * Is there another solutions someone can recommend if Litespeed Cache can’t solve this specific thing (apart from making it an image)? * Thanks. - This topic was modified 8 years, 3 months ago by [simon_im](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simon_im/).

We do have lazy load for js. * Plugin Support [LiteSpeed Lisa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lclarke/) * (@lclarke) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-maps-load-time/#post-10041601) * Hi, [@simon_im](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simon_im/) * Do you still need help with this? Is it using JavaScript? If so, you can defer it (have it load at the end) via **LiteSpeed Cache > Settings > Optimize > Load JS Deferred**. * This will defer the loading of _all_ JS on your site, though, so if there is some JS that you do not want to defer, you will need to use **JS Excludes** on the **Tuning** tab for that. * If this doesn’t help, please tell us a little bit more about the Google Maps code, so we can better advise. * Thread Starter [simon_im](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simon_im/) * (@simon_im) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-maps-load-time/#post-10042576) * Thanks for check back in on this. * The issue is that google maps doesn’t start doing its thing until almost everything else on the page has loaded. * So if it was possible to lazy load google maps it get to async, that might reduce the load time. * I don’t know if LS Cache can solve this, was just curious if it could and if so how. * Plugin Support [LiteSpeed Lisa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lclarke/) * (@lclarke) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-maps-load-time/#post-10044522) * So, then it sounds like Google Maps is _already_ deferred. And you want it to load at the same time as everything else (or not load at all until the user scrolls to it). * Understood. * Well, we really do need to know what’s in the Google Maps code. If it’s JS, that can’t be lazy loaded. There may be a way to stop it from being deferred, but it depends on how it’s written and what your LiteSpeed settings are. * Can you let us know a little bit more about the Google Maps code? * Also, can you let us know what optimization settings you have enabled? (Or you can share your Environment Report: Navigate to **LiteSpeed Cache > Report**, press the **Send to LiteSpeed** button, make note of the “Report Number”, and post the number here so we can look it up.) * Thread Starter [simon_im](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simon_im/) * (@simon_im) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-maps-load-time/#post-10044853) * The map uses this if that’s helpful?

There’s really nothing LSCache can do with it. Sorry! * Maybe the JetElements people have a suggestion for something to try on their end. * [markwaldin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markwaldin/) * (@markwaldin) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-maps-load-time/#post-10590892) * I believe Google maps do lazy load but they do not all document load to complete until done. Result is a load time that is horrible. A solution is to load the map after the page completes loading. Problem with that is requires custom coding to implement. Kind of hairy. * [Louis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schoemanlouis/) * (@schoemanlouis) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-maps-load-time/#post-11023333) * I seriously need to increase my website speed. can anyone give me some pointers please – it’s a WordPress website. * I know the pictures are a bit big – but any other help – I would be grateful. * [https://krugerbookings.com/](https://krugerbookings.com/) Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) The topic ‘Google Maps Load Time / Page Speed’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/litespeed-cache/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=2554181) * [LiteSpeed Cache](https://wordpress.org/plugins/litespeed-cache/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/litespeed-cache/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/litespeed-cache/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/litespeed-cache/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/litespeed-cache/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/litespeed-cache/reviews/) * 8 replies * 5 participants * Last reply from: [Louis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schoemanlouis/) * Last activity: [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-maps-load-time/#post-11023333) * Status: resolved
