[Support request] Low CLS Score – how to fix?

[Julie]

I have a CLS score of .32. Could you suggest how I can fix this?

Hi Julie,

The theme itself shouldn’t have any CLS issues.

Can you disable all plugins except for GP Premium and GenerateBlocks to eliminate conflicts from elsewhere?

Let me know 🙂

[Julie]

I deactivated all plugins and the score is still the same.

Hi there,

is there a specific page or post where i can see the CLS issue ?

[Julie]

I have only tried running my homepage through pagespeed.web.dev

Hi Julie,

Just ran a test for your homepage, you do NOT have CLS issue, but your site does have other performance issues:

It’s likely generated by the ads.

Thank you, I’ll try fixing those (which are a mess anyway).

Could you share what site you use to check CLS?

The one I’ve been using is reporting very differently than your screen grab.

Hi Julie,

It’s Lighthouse. It’s a feature of Google Chrome. See here for more info: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/lighthouse/overview/
