Thinking about how to speed up Shopify site load times and improve performance should get you excited. While the idea of investing time and money may make you cringe, the impact on eCommerce sites directly correlates to conversion and bottom line. Now we’re back to exciting!

On a recent site build there was a need to include a responsive, interactive Google map. The map also needed to display the organization’s location and a link for directions. Pretty standard but… not without its share of tricksy issues. I found a lot of information on the inter-webs which helped it respond smoothly1, and that allowed me to add multiple tooltips with unique info windows2. Responsive google maps won’t get us down!
