    Dear Camille,
    The project team using the site which uses your efficient & wonderful plugin is considering the possibility to drop marker clustering (and to use images which would be much smaller colored dots).

    An update of 2020 says :

    * Added shortcode parameter “disable_clustering” to disable marker clustering. Don’t use this on a map with a lot of markers.

    I have two questions following that :

      how much is “a lot of markers” ? Our number shouldn’t exceed 250. In case it is too much, what would you suggest we explore ?
      I would like to try notwithstanding. Nothing seems to happen when I change l.63 of cttm-shortcode.php with 'disable_clustering' => true . Should I have done it otherwise ?

    Problem solved : I just used the shortcode inside my page (disable_clustering=true), rather than fiddling inside the code of the plugin.
    And it seems to work all right…

    Sorry !

    Dear @agthalim,

    Yes you should use the shortcode parameter 🙂
    That way you can update the plugin without losing your changes 😉

    As for the first question, how much is “a lot of markers” ?
    The answer is: It depends of your device !

    You can have a look at some stress tests here: https://observablehq.com/@bumbeishvili/maps-stress-test
    If you add like 1000+ markers, some devices are going to slow down. I think 250 is ok, but again, can’t really say without testing 🙂
