Slow map view - Toolset

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I have a map View with lots (3000+) of markers to display. The performance of the map is slow and the page takes over 15 seconds to load.

Solution: Update to Maps 1.8.1 so your addresses can be migrated into the new database tables. This will speed up distance queries significantly. Also consider adding pagination to this View and turn on clustering.

Hi, we just released Maps 1.8.1, which includes significant updates to the way map points are filtered and displayed. Please make sure you have the latest version installed. The new system uses database tables specifically for these data points, which should help speed up distance queries significantly. If you have more than 100 markers to display on a map, it's a good idea to use clustering: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/display-on-google-maps/displaying-markers-on-google-maps/#grouping-close-markers-into-clusters

If you're still having very slow response times, we can install Query Monitor and check the speed of the query.

Hello again Christian i installed the new version of Maps also enabled clustering and i think it has some speed improvement but not major improvement :). also i want to ask you is there a way to show more than 50 posts per page to map view?

Yes, you can use custom code to increase the maximum number of posts per page greater than 50. Example with pagination:

Example without pagination:

If pagination does not provide the performance improvement you want, I can log in and take a look at the View settings. Please provide login credentials here in the private reply fields.
