Lazy Load for GMaps vs Store Locator Widget

I think, it’s no secret that Google Maps slow down your page load. Lazy Load for Google Maps is a very simple plugin for WordPress and it allows you to solve this issue. It improves page load times and increases your Google PageSpeed Score. External services This plugin loads maps from the external Google Maps service (https://maps.googleapis.com). Map tiles and related data are requested directly from Google servers; no personal data is sent from your site except the map coordinates and your API key (if provided).
