Did you try delete the cache folder?

Hi GP Theme Support,

A quick update. I managed to fix the CLS issue on my website. Thanks for everyone for giving your time and effort into looking on this issue. The main culprit of the issue was the font used on my main navigation bar. Though I already hosted that font locally it is still giving an issue so I changed it to a system font and that fixed it!

CLS is very tricky indeed as Google's PSI is not that specific on which element on the website that was really causing the issue.

Glad to hear you got it resolved.

I wonder if preloading it manually would be better.

While I can see it being preloaded. There are still so many things being loaded before it. In fact, even the Google Font "Montserrat" loads before your preloaded fonts. Check this one - https://share.getcloudapp.com/6quYv92O

Can you try it out? Disable WP rocket font preload and then manually preload it using a Hook element hooked to wp_head with a priority of 1 with display rule location set to "Entire site".
