Thank you for your response. Any chance you can give me an estimate when this feature will be implemented?

Thanks for you reply Calin,

using post id does not work when displaying a category via filter. It will only show the one posting and not the category anymore.
Workaround for me now is to not use Big Grid elements and for postings that have to stay on top I made a extra element.

I’ve found the issue and like to share it for whoever might also have an issue with CLS…
I had the top header ad within a div tag. That caused the whole problem. Now the ad shortcode (Advanced ADs Plugin) is directly in the header ad placement and CLS is fixed.

Hi Calin,

thank you for the hint.
Before I started creating a custom page I just discovered that another of our website does not have the issue. The template and settings are somewhat identical.

For reference. This website does have the issue:
https://berliner-abendblatt.de/2022/07/18/musikschule-city-west-bietet-vielzahl-von-kursen-fuer-babys-und-kinder/

And those not:
https://www.rheinmainverlag.de/2022/07/18/obertshausen-stadt-und-verein-stadtmarketing-arbeiten-gemeinsam-mit-buergern-an-konzept/

https://supertipp-online.de/2022/07/18/richtiges-verhalten-bei-hitze-hitzeknigge-fuer-ratingen/

Any idea why only the first one has CLS issues? That is very odd.

Hi Calin,

thank you for your response.
I just did a Lighthouse test with Google Chrome browser of this url: https://berliner-abendblatt.de/2020/09/13/besuch-beim-groessten-baum-berlins/

and I’m still having issues with CLS on the mobile view. Your screenshot shows the results for the desktop view which never was an issue. Google does always benchmark mobile first as most of the users are browsing with a mobile device.

Unfortunately the mobile theme is not an option as it’s less customisable compared to the standard desktop version.

But the main theme is responsive so it should normally work?!
That is why I’m trying to find a solution for CLS to fail within “td-main-content-wrap td-container-wrap”.

Hello again,

I disabled the sidebar for a category to reduce the overall elements.
The url is as follows: https://berliner-abendblatt.de/2020/09/13/besuch-beim-groessten-baum-berlins/

On this page you basically only find the posting itself.

Unfortunately I get the same CLS / Core Web Vitals failed result.

I’m also using WP Rocket as a cache plugin.

Do you have any other ideas?

Hi Bettina,

you need to visit https://pagespeed.web.dev which is Googles own Core Web Vitals test.
Then I pasted this URL: https://berliner-abendblatt.de/2022/07/13/friedhofspark-pappelallee-endlich-wieder-zugaenglich/

The result: Core Web Vitals Assessment: Failed

This is because CLS.

Here you can see what is causing CLS.

The test suggests that “<div class=”td-main-content-wrap td-container-wrap”>” is causing the layout shift.

Hi Bettina,

I already knew those articles as they are posted under every CLS topic in the forum and speed is not an issue.
I‘m having issues with a high CLS value caused by „ <div class=”td-main-content-wrap td-container-wrap”>“.
This is a Newspaper Theme specific container and I don’t know why it’s causing CLS to fail.
