Which map is faster from Yandex or from Google?

I am a landing page developer and one of the main challenges I face is website performance optimization. Some landing pages reach dozens of scrolls long, and for their fast loading I resort to various tricks, such as lazy loading of blocks through Ajax, not to mention standard methods, like running the site on google page speed and optimizing the site according to their instructions.
If I can at least do something with all the content of the site, then everything is very bad with the downloadable Yandex map, the timelines show that it takes about two seconds to display the map.
What can be done about it?
Does anyone have any recommendations for optimizing the map? Maybe google maps is faster?

I think google map is faster. I, like from a PC, go to Yandex maps, nothing works there for a few seconds, only a non-working map is displayed, until it loads, it's very annoying.

No, subjectively, Google maps are even more slow.
What do you care about timelines? Maps are still loaded asynchronously and do not affect the performance of the site itself.

Look towards leafletjs.com

it all depends on the range of routes from your provider, test and see where there are fewer hops and delays so the card will be faster

Well, obviously, you can load separately.
The card itself is quite a resource-intensive thing. After all, this is path finding, and inscriptions, and graphs, and much, much more. This requires a lot of scripts. So the map can be loaded in the background. Well, you can always make your own self-propelled gun, which translates by click to a Yandex or Google map.
Regarding preference, here it is better to give preference to the region. If you count as a percentage, Yandex is more popular in the Russian Federation and the CIS. In terms of usability, I also like it more, and its traffic jams are IMHO a little more honest (they were at least less). However, at Google I like the street view killer feature, because you can "ride" along an unfamiliar site while sitting on the couch at home. Very comfortable, you perceive the area in a completely different way. True, it is unlikely that this is in embedded cards.
Also landing pages always beat performance. So sometimes you just have to be calm. Perhaps someone will be faster, and some tricks are generally very specific to the browser / OS.
