Easy - just look at the javascript console:

Blocked loading mixed active content 
"http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"
Loading failed for the <script> with source 
“http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false”.

So the problem is that you are trying to load the google api code over 
http from an https site and browsers no longer allow loading active 
content like javascript over http for a site whose main URL is https.

Change it to load that over https and you should be fine.
