 * Hi. I’m trying to speed up my site and checking all the opportunity. In the console
   I read this message: “Google Maps JavaScript API has been loaded directly without
   loading=async. This can result in suboptimal performance.”
 * Is there a way to load this file as async? Eventually is it safe or can it break
   my site?

 * Hi there, thanks for writing.
 * About that warning, thanks for letting us know. The thing is that Google Maps
   keeps changing how their APIs must be loaded every now and then, we are aware
   of the warning but for the time being it is not problematic, we keep releasing
   frequent updates to our plugin when necessary, so we got this covered 🙂 As a
   matter of fact we are working on our major next release (3.0) and issues like
   these will be dealt with, so thanks for your patience.
 * Best regards,
