Ok 🙂
Hi David
This worked. I swapped to using the plugin and CLS has gone from 0.56 to 0.01 in GTmetrix. I have tested several times and it seems to be consistent.
Thanks so much for all your help on this.
Chloe
Thats great to hear! Glad to be of help.
Hi David
I thought that I had fixed this issue. GTMetrix, gives a score of 0.01, which is also the case on Mobile on Google page speed insights. Howeever on Desktop on page speed insights, it is 0.5 and above sometimes. See the private details. I am not sure how to fix this. It has failed the Core Web Vitals and I need to get this fixed before they do the CWV update in May. Any help would be amazing.
Many thanks
Chloe
Hi Chloe,
The CLS issue is related to the Cookie Notice and the Review Bar ( that sticks to the side of the screen ).
First the cookie bar. Another user had an issue with their Cookie Bar and i believe they swapped to this one:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/complianz-gdpr/
For the sticky review panel – you will need to take this up with the plugin author. I had a look at the code they’re outputting and i cannot fix that…. one thing that may help is if they have a Click to Open option… if its correctly coded then Google will ignore CLS on an element if a click event occurred just before the change.
Hi David
Thanks for this. That’s great. I will speak to the developers of the reviews widget. I have turned it off and I am now getting 100% on desktop! Never happened before. The CLS in Lab Data is saying 0.006 even with the cookie consent on. (I had already tried the complianz one previously and it sort of messed up all ur tracking data so I reverted.)
Anyway it is still saying: Origin Summary: Over the previous 28-day collection period, the aggregate experience of all pages served from this origin does not pass the Core Web Vitals assessment. To view suggestions tailored to each page, analyze individual page URLs.
It says it does not pass, but I am thinking this will change over the 28 day period from now perhaps?
Thanks again for all you help.
Chloe
Yep thats correct – Google will gather new data as it crawls the site and you will see the improved CLS scores reflected in the origin summary and any field data it collects.
Oh that’s great. Thanks again. Really helpful as always.
Chloe
You’re welcome!
