Lazy loading Google Maps

    On our events list there is a small Google Maps map loaded for each event. This works well for the user interface, but makes loading of the page slower. Worst of all, we’ve gotten reports of IE8 crashing on the page due to the amount of simultaneous script loading going on.

    According to http://wordpress.org/support/topic/lazy-load-google-maps it would take an hour to make Google Maps lazy load, or technically speaking, initialize only when located above or near the bottom of the viewport.

    Could this be added to core soon? If not, how should we go about implementing this ourselves?

    You’ll need to hire someone to investigate and implement this right now.

    We use AJAX loading so it shouldn’t break initial page loads.
