Performance is one of the most important indicators of quality of software. It plays a significant role not only for business websites and apps, but in case of map components and applications, especially for mobile devices. The aim of the paper is to measure performance of map applications on mobile devices. The performance testing was run on a prototype of an interactive map component of the zoom-lens type using selected web applications. Speed Index (measurement unit) reached the value of 1601 milliseconds, and Performance Score obtained the highest possible value (100 units). A high value of Lighthouse Performance Score was also noted (98 units). Study showed that satisfying measurement results of indices in relation to the time of loading of the component in the browser window are associated with a small size of the component. In case of small components, which enhance the functionality of map websites and apps, it is recommended to compress all parts of the component, regardless of the results of the performance tests.
