Hello,
My landing page contains a big google maps portion, which slows down the loading time. I am trying to do the following:
- Load the static elements first so the page loads fast initially.
- Display a loading notification in the map placeholder so that the user knows that the map is coming up
- Load and display the map
I have done this:
$(document).ready(function() {
map_initialize();
}
map_initialize() being the function which loads the map into its container div. However, this still will not display the static elements fist. The page will wait until the map_initialize() is finished, then load the static elements at the same time as the map.
Thanks,
