CLS because whole Layout is shifting around

Posted in: Newspaper

So, in the last three weeks I was searching and searching why I have a CLS on my page and no tool like Page Speed Insights or GTMetrix showed the CLS, just the Extension for Chrome Browser. Now I tried a new one and I found the CLS the whole layout (all the blocks) is shifting on the load: https://imgur.com/a/pY1X9Rd (CLS is everything in orange) and if you reload the site the CLS is gone, because the site is already in the browser cache. How can this problem be solved? I need help urgently!

Here are all the affected files: https://imgur.com/a/NCHN0HA
div.vc_row.tdi_25_6d0.wpb_row.td-pb-row
div#tdi_60_124.tdc-row
div.td_block_wrap.tdb_header_logo.tdi_35_c67.td-pb-border-top.td_block_template…
div.vc_column_inner.tdi_33_c06.wpb_column.vc_column.container.tdc-inner-column…
div.vc_column.tdi_54_797wpb_column.vc_column_container.tdc-column.td-pb-span12

It is the whole layout, everything that was designed with TagDiv-Composer.

Hi Kathrin,

Thank you for sending the additional information about your inconvenience. I understand the situation, and I believe it is an unpleasant one. As the CLS metric has been recently added to the way Google analyzes the web pages, our web developers are constantly seeking for solutions meant to improve the web vitals. We are going to release a few updates concerning the performance of the web vitals, including the CLS. Everyone is trying to encompass the new Google performance and optimisation metrics in their programs, including the mentioned online speed tests. I know things may go a bit slower due to the fact that there are so many aspects to consider and test to make everything go smooth. At this moment, we have presented all the possible solutions we could think of. We understand that you would like to achieve a CLS of less than 01 on your pages, as we would also love to achieve this. I’m sorry for any inconvenience, but I’m afraid that now we are not able to provide other solutions for removing the CLS from the mentioned files. Please keep an eye on our future updates.

Thank you so much for your understanding!

Hello !

I am sorry for the inconvenience !

Indeed the plan was to have a update launched in January but due to the high number of topics that appeared in time, including yours, our developers had to test each issue and find solutions and therefore the update was delayed.

Now our ETA is about 1-2 weeks until the new update is released.

Thank you for your patience !
