This section outlines key configuration settings and optimizations available for enhancing the website's performance, security, design, and administrative experience. These settings are categorized into four primary sections:

Front-End Optimization: Only Load Google Maps when Requested by User

It improves website performance by optimizing the delivery of Google Maps JavaScript files. When enabled, the system only loads the required JavaScript files when a Google Maps feature or location autocomplete functionality is requested on a page.


This helps reduce unnecessary resource loading and can improve page load times, especially on pages where Google Maps functionality is not required.


If a customized widget or a member listing post setting is not compatible with this setting, turning the switch on shows a Setting Not Compatible message and the switch stays off. A warning under the setting names each widget or post setting causing the conflict, with a link to it, so it can be updated or restored to its default:


The Only Load Google Maps when Requested by User setting still Off, with a warning (1) that names the member listing post setting that is not compatible.


Front-End Optimization: Enable Resource Delivery via CDN
