Async/non-blocking loading

  • Google PageSpeed Insights and similar tools complain about the Google Maps API initialization blocking the main thread for a significant amount of time.
    One way to mitigate this would be initializing the maps only when scrolled into view.
    This is a big issue when the Google Maps block is used in the footer of a site as all sites are impacted then.

    This would also make this plugin stand out more as this is often overlooked and can hurt performance/SEO a lot.
