Hi,

According to Google Search Console, all of my URLS are scoring Poor on Core Web Vitals due to CLS issues.

Here is a GTmetrix report for one of the affected URLS.

Can you please advise how I might address these issues?

Thank you.

Hi there,

first thing is the Logo.
Can you do the following:

1. Make sure you're using the latest versions of the GP theme and the GP Premium plugin.
2. Customizer > General >> Structure is set to Flex Box.
3. Then go to Customizer > Site Identity and delete the Logo, publish those changes. Then re-add your logo and publish again. This should ensure the Logo has the width and height attributes thats required so the Lazyloader doesn't mess its sizing up.

Hi David,

Thank you, I have changed to Flex Box and republished the logo.

Anything else I can do to reduce the CLS please?

Thank you!

Hi there,

At this point in your site's performance results, there's little we can do.

See this - https://share.getcloudapp.com/DOuD7p6B

it's marking 0.00 which is too small to even register on the 2nd decimal place.

It's basically saying 0 CLS. - https://share.getcloudapp.com/6qu84yEk

Hi Elvin,

Thanks for showing me that.

I guess David's suggestions did the trick.

I also just finished configuring Perfmatters and Autoptimize which seem to have helped overall.

Glad you got it sorted. No problem. :D
