Hi Nicola, Please give some more details about what you try to do. You wrote “I am using a remote WMS GEBCO Bathymetry map”. Is that some external WMS service that you are cascading with your Geoserver? If that is the case, is that WMS service slow at some scales if you use it directly for example with QGIS? Can you share the link to that external WMS service?
Then you wrote “This covers the whole world, but that significantly slows down the loading of my app.” If you happen to find that the external WMS is actually fast, think what else does you app do and consider what else could make it slow when zoomed to show the whole world. -Jukka Rahkonen- Lähettäjä: Nikola Krlovic <nikola.krlo...@gmail.com> Lähetetty: torstai 11. marraskuuta 2021 12.03 Vastaanottaja: Rahkonen Jukka (MML) <jukka.rahko...@maanmittauslaitos.fi> Kopio: geoserver-users@lists.sourceforge.net Aihe: Re: [Geoserver-users] Limiting WMS display to a defined extent Hi Jukka, Thank you for your reply. Well, I guess that I am then not understanding the mechanisms behind WMS. Let me clarify that I do not know if it is faster when it shows a smaller area, I am trying to test it out - so I would like to ask whether it is possible for GeoServer to limit what part of the world's bathymetry map it serves to a certain geographical extent. Thanks again for any help, Nikola On Thu, Nov 11, 2021 at 10:57 AM Rahkonen Jukka (MML) <jukka.rahko...@maanmittauslaitos.fi<mailto:jukka.rahko...@maanmittauslaitos.fi>> wrote: Hi, Could you clarify, do you mean that the remote WMS is slow when it shows the whole World but fast when the area is small? For Geoserver it is just the same because it always gets a fixed size PNG or JPEG image from the remote server but I understand your wish if that server is slow with rendering the whole World map. -Jukka Rahkonen- Lähettäjä: Nikola Krlovic <nikola.krlo...@gmail.com<mailto:nikola.krlo...@gmail.com>> Lähetetty: torstai 11. marraskuuta 2021 11.03 Vastaanottaja: geoserver-users@lists.sourceforge.net<mailto:geoserver-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Aihe: [Geoserver-users] Limiting WMS display to a defined extent Hello, I have a question regarding WMS - specifically, I am using a remote WMS GEBCO Bathymetry map. This covers the whole world, but that significantly slows down the loading of my app. Is there a way to limit the extent of the WMS to a specified bounding box, so only that is loaded? For instance, only the mediterranean? Kindest regards, Nikola
