Google Maps Embed Generator

Build a map embed that does not slow the page down.

Quick Tool Overview

The Google Maps Embed Generator writes a map iframe from an address, with lazy loading, an accessible title and a referrer policy already set, and no API key needed. The click-to-load option replaces it with a lightweight placeholder so the third-party weight is only paid by visitors who actually want the map.

About the Google Maps Embed Generator

Enter an address and the generator writes the map embed, sized how you want it, with a title for screen readers, lazy loading and a referrer policy set. No API key is needed for the basic embed, which is what most contact pages want.

A map is one of the heaviest things on a typical contact page — the embed pulls in a substantial amount of third-party JavaScript, and on a page whose real job is a phone number and an address, that is a poor trade. The click-to-load option here solves it properly: the page shows a static placeholder with your address, and the real map only loads if someone actually wants it. That removes the third-party weight from every visit where nobody touched the map, which is most of them, and it also means no request goes to Google before the visitor has chosen to make one.

Key features of the Google Maps Embed Generator

No API key needed

The basic place embed needs no key, which is what a contact page actually wants.

Click-to-load option

A placeholder until someone taps it, so no request reaches Google before the visitor chooses.

Accessible by default

A title attribute is included, without which a screen reader announces an unnamed frame.

Responsive sizing

An aspect-ratio wrapper rather than a fixed height, which behaves properly on a phone.

Lazy loaded

The iframe defers, because on most contact pages the map is the single heaviest element.

How to use the Google Maps Embed Generator

  1. 1

    Enter your address

    Or a place name. The embed resolves it the same way a search would.

  2. 2

    Set the size and zoom

    A responsive height is usually better than a fixed one on a contact page.

  3. 3

    Choose click-to-load

    Optional. The map becomes a placeholder that only loads when someone taps it.

  4. 4

    Copy the code

    Paste it into your page. The accessible title and lazy loading are already set.

Frequently asked questions

Not for a basic embed of a place or address, which is what a contact page needs. A key is required for the Maps Embed API's advanced modes and for the JavaScript API, where usage is billed.
