I have added Google map block by Xstore using Elementor. it works only on first visit of the page, when you revisit the page you get the error:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'DEFAULT') at initMap (google-map.js:29:71) at GoogleMap (google-map.js:174:9) at _runHook (frontend.min.js:2:15266) at Object.doAction (frontend.min.js:2:15868) at Object.runReadyTrigger (frontend.min.js:2:20034) at frontend-modules.min.js:2:17704

I am using LItespeed cache plugin. I’ve tried to add ‘google-map.js’ to excludes.
I’ve tired W3total Cache (recommended by you).
It only works if I disable caching plugin.

Dear Atip,

We have checked your contact page and confirmed that the Google Map is functioning properly without any issues.

However, you may exclude the Google Maps scripts from the LiteSpeed Cache settings by following these steps:

1. Go to WordPress Dashboard → LiteSpeed Cache → Page Optimization → JS Settings.
2. Locate the “JS Excludes” section and add the following:
google-map.js
3. If you prefer to specify the path more precisely, you can use:
/path/to/google-map.js

Additional Google Scripts to Consider Excluding:

maps.googleapis.com google-analytics.com/analytics.js googletagmanager.com/gtag/js recaptcha/api.js

Reason for Excluding These Scripts:
Google Maps and similar external scripts often need to load dynamically and should not be combined, minified, or deferred excessively because:
– They load additional resources dynamically.
– They have specific timing requirements.
– They may malfunction if combined with other scripts.
– They are already optimized and served from Google’s CDN.

Alternative: Exclude by URL Pattern
In the JS Excludes field, you can also use patterns such as:

googleapis.com gstatic.com

This will exclude all scripts from these domains.

After making these changes, please remember to purge your LiteSpeed cache to apply the updates immediately.

Best regards,

Hi! Thanks for your reply. No it doesn’t work. It works on Contacts page because I’m using there a standard google map block provided by Elementor. Block provided by Xstore doesn’t work.

As you can see on screenshots all those file have been added to excludes in Litespeed.

Please check the attached link:
-scroll to the bottom of the page

-you will see contact form there, and there should be a map under phone numbers

-if you can see the map, close the tab and open it again (or duplicate) on the second visit you will discover an error.

Hello @Atip,

Please clear your cache in the caching plugin and check again. We have made some improvements to the Google Map widget scripts.

Hello @Atip,

Could you please perform a test using a different browser or clear the cache in your current browser? We have previously conducted tests, and after additional testing, we did not encounter any issues with Google Maps (a video is attached in the private content).

If you still experience any issues, please describe which browsers and devices you used for your tests.

Best regards,
