Maps That Load in 2 Seconds, Not 15 — Even When Your Crews Are in the Field

Your crews don't have time to wait for maps to load. We use Cloudflare's global CDN to make sure they don't have to.

The Problem with Traditional Hosting

When your locator pulls up a map on their phone at a job site, they don't care about infrastructure — they care about speed. Esri/ArcGIS Online hosts everything on centralized servers, which means every map request travels hundreds of miles to load. In rural areas or on slower networks, that's 15-20 seconds of staring at a loading screen.

Centralized Servers = Slow Maps
15-20 seconds per map load × 40 maps daily = 10 minutes wasted per crew per day

How We Solve It

MorrisUtilitySolutions uses Cloudflare's global CDN to cache your map tiles and layers across 300+ edge servers worldwide. When your crew opens a map, it loads from the nearest server — often just 50-100 miles away instead of across the country.

Global CDN = Fast Maps
2-3 seconds per map load × 40 maps daily = 2 minutes total per crew per day

Esri/ArcGIS Online

Traditional Approach
  • Centralized servers (long-distance data travel)
  • Maps generated on-demand for each request
  • Load times: 10-20 seconds on typical field connections
  • Costs $800-1,500/year per user for "fast" performance tiers

MorrisUtilitySolutions + Cloudflare

Modern Approach
  • 300+ global edge servers (short-distance data travel)
  • Maps pre-rendered and cached near your crews
  • Load times: 2-4 seconds on same connections
  • Included in $599/month hosting (10-30 crews unlimited)

Real-World Impact on Your Operations

"2 seconds vs 15 seconds might not sound like much — until you're opening 40 maps per day."

10 min
Wasted daily per crew with Esri (15s × 40 maps)
2 min
Total time with our hosting (3s × 40 maps)
35+ hrs
Saved annually per crew (8 min daily)
$1,575
Annual value at $45/hr field labor

Fast maps aren't a luxury — they're how you bill more work per day. Your crews finish 2-3 extra tickets daily just from eliminating map lag.
