    I’ve set up a Cloudflare test environment and didn’t find a setting for passing range requests.

    According to the author of the map tile format, this seems to be a known limitation: “Cloudflare’s CDN intentionally does not work with range requests. You will need to create a Workers integration as documented in the link above to do this.” (GH Link).

    Setting up a Cloudflare Worker is not realistic for this use case. So the only way would be serving the map on a separate domain which is not cached by Cloudflare.

    Could you also test the VPS directly, bypassing Cloudflare? Maybe an additional Cloudflare configuration is needed, could be hidden behind something like “streaming support”. I will investigate more on the Cloudflare side, but in the end, both parties have to support it.

    Hi Nathan, thanks a lot four your feedback!

    It should never take 5 seconds to load a map! My only explanation is that your VPS does not support HTTP Range request for partially loading map tiles. Could you do a test request to an existing URL either with a command line tool like curl (curl -I https://yoursite/) or an online tool like https://websniffer.com/ ? The resulting headers should include “Accept-Ranges: bytes”.

    Regarding the shortcode generator tool: making the marker placement easier is number one on my todo list! But I wanted to see first, if there is a demand for a privacy first map plugin, or everyone is happy with Google Maps.

    Thanks again, Pirmin
