Layout Shift - Again!
3 replies · Started by Ben on March 15, 2021
Hi!
You kindly helped me with a previous issue with layout shift.
On your advice, I ended up switching to a system font which eliminated a lot of my issues.
I also moved away from Nitropack, which was causing all kinds of problems, and switched back to WP-Rocket.
The new issue is WITH DESKTOP CLS ONLY (mobile is fine).
On about half of my pages, Pagespeed Insights is sporadically reporting a big layout shift (desktop only), telling me it's being primarily caused by:
div class "inside-right-sidebar"
Some pages where this is happening include:

I do have a sticky ad unit from MediaVine in the sidebar and know that they can cause layout shift issues - they are working on this. If you can categorically tell me that's the only thing causing it then I can just leave it alone now and wait but I want to be certain I've addressed every possible layout shift issue that's under my control!
Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
the only CLS issue i can see ( checked in Chrome Developers tools > Performance ) is the advert in the sidebar.
Thanks David. I shall stop running around in circles and wait for the MediaVine fix!
Best wishes,
Ben
No problems - glad to be of help!
