Yes, I'm shure.

I would try to create (on the underlying table) a conditional index on
the column "location" with the condition "available = true AND visible =
true".

As often, the acutal effect depends on the count of rows the query
returns compared to the total rows in the table. And it would be helpful
to know the typical queries (especially the rows in the WHERE clauses)
to give additional hints on creating indices. A matching index also
potentially speeds up ORDER BY queries.

HTH,
Markus
