You would like to use embedded Google Maps on your website, but you have to comply with the guidelines of the GDPR/DSGVO? Maybe you want to speed up your site and let the visitor load the map if it’s really necessary? This plugin automatically blocks embedded Google Maps for you.
Instead of a map, we’ll load a placeholder image to indicate that there is a map where users can interact with. To make this even more clear, we let you configure a text displayed to the visitor.
It’s important to block the communication between your visitors and the Google server for several reasons.
* Performance and loading time: There are tons of reasons why iFrames are bad for the performance of your site, blocking them on page load should help your site…
Great plugin, great support!

Thank you for the plugin. It is working out of the box with different installations.
What would be nice:
Either remove the “Map Privacy” Menu entry completely or give more settings there, like unload the css file and change the svg file + change the text. Otherwise please remove the menu item because it makes no sense at all.
Thank you!!!
Plugin works as it’s supposed to, I’m very grateful for your work!
What I would appreciate on top is a possibility to set my own text and possibly my own customized image in the background…
After an update this plugin is functional again. Therefore, there are also 5 stars again. Thank you.
