Iframes and high traffic #360

Closed jbhatab closed 10 years ago

Hello gmaps4rails,

So I have a rideshare app on my website for all the festivals in the US. I am going to make an app that festivals can put on their website so it is like an embedded rideshare app. This will increase traffic to the site from multiple sources by a lot and I am just nervous something will fail. The biggest fear of mine is that the query limit will be reached, so I want to know is there anything I can do to prevent this or is this an irrelevant fear. Also does using iframes cause any negative effects to performance?

Here is an article about geocoding strategies. https://developers.google.com/maps/articles/geocodestrat Note that the issue is whether you are pinging Google from your server. If your queries are client side, the limits are pretty much a non issue. I don't know about iFrames.
