Community Picks·2yYour background images might be causing CLS
Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) is a Core Web Vital that measures unexpected shifts in a web page's layout after initial content loads. It can be caused by various factors such as client-side data-fetching, loading large images, ads, or embedded media players. To avoid CLS, web developers can use techniques like including width and height attributes on images, providing placeholder elements, and using CSS properties to minimize shifts caused by font files loading.
