Adding external WMS to the QGIS Cloud Web Map

The use of WMS/WMTS layers in a QGIS Cloud map project can significantly degrade the performance of the map display. I have already discussed how to counter this problem in an earlier post. One of the solutions is to load external WMS as background layers. The problem with this approach, however, is that only one WMS background layer can be loaded at a time. If further WMS layers are to be loaded into the map at the same time, this approach cannot be used.

My QGIS Cloud Map is slow. How can I make it faster?

QGIS Cloud Support is repeatedly asked: ‘Why is my QGIS Cloud map so slow and what can I do to make it faster?’ Basically, the bottlenecks can be traced back to poor data management and/or a slow internet connection. In this short blog article, I would like to give you a few tips on what you can do to speed up a slow loading map. Optimise the data Make sure that your database is optimised and that you only use the necessary data in your web map.

Designing QGIS Cloud QWC2 with CSS

In an earlier post, I showed how it is possible to permanently position a legend in the QGIS Cloud map as part of a QGIS Cloud Pro subscription. To achieve this, the appearance of the map view was changed using CSS. In this post, I will describe exactly what this is and how it works. The appearance of the QGIS Cloud Web Client is controlled via CSS. CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets.

Integrate a QGIS Cloud Map into a Web Page

After a beautiful map has been created with QGIS and published on https://qgiscloud.com, the desire quickly arises to integrate this map into one’s own website. This way, visitors to the website could access the map directly and without having to go via https://qgiscloud.com. With a little HTML, this is easy to do. But let’s start from the beginning. Make a QGIS Cloud Map As always with QGIS Cloud, a map must first be published.

QGIS Cloud: Publish Live Data in Web Map

The QGIS Cloud Support Team is often asked if it is possible to integrate data from external databases into the QGIS Cloud Web Map, so that the map information in the QGIS Cloud Web Map is always up-to-date. In this blog article we would like to show how this is possible with PostgreSQL. To publish data in the QGIS Cloud GDI, the data must always be stored in the personal QGIS Cloud database.
