[Support request] CLS problems GSC

[Yoeri]

Hello all 🙂

Since 3 days my Google Search Console shows CLS errors with 0.25+

It says it is for 65 of my pages what is half of my website.

Since this is quiet technical I’m looking for directions to solve this issue.

Thank you in advance!

I’ve added the GSC link as well in private in this reaction.

Hi there,

the main issue i see is the Table of Contents is set be closed.
However on initial load the ToC is open, after it loaded it then closes which is causing the layout shift.

Hello David,

After I changed the ToC according to your message the troubles seem solved. But now since 2 weeks there are CLS problems again..

If I see it right it has to do with no image sizs for the logo but I’, not sure since Google is not so good at explaining things in a normal way. I’ve added the latest report in private information. Hope you can give me the right direction 🙂

Is there a way to set the image sizes for the logo?

Hi there,

not seeing any CLS issues in the Lab Data.
One thing we are aware of is that the Layoutshift API can capture CLS from site visits that are related to Hover Menu Dropdowns. The current fix and best practice is to to change your dropdown menus to Click. We’re looking at some fixes for that in the future ( but ideally hoping that google reworks their algorithms ).
