Happy New Year, Toolset Team!

I am planning to hold a challenge. I am aiming to motivate as many users as possible (thousands) across the globe to post a photo with coordinates and some additional data. All the photo locations will be plotted on a single map (i.e., I do not want to limit the view and step through) with the photo on click. I will have 3 counters to display the number of locations and other data from the numeral fields.

Is there a good way to set this up and minimize loading time? I don't need to display the photo entries underneath the map until someone clicks on a marker to take a look at the entry. The map and the counters are the stars.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Hello,

Toolset Maps plugin is using cached address:

So it depends on your webserver capability to minimize loading time.

And for the image issue, you can try to add lazyload feature to the images, for example:
