WHAT IS GOOGLE�S CUMULATIVE LAYOUT SHIFT?

Gsswebtechmysore22 Jul, 2021Technology

A website is made attractive and functional using a great design so that any visitor would want to browse the website for longer and with ease. Other than a bad deign, there are also other factors that would affect a user?s browsing experience on any webpage and perhaps drive them away. One such factor is the cumulative layout shift (CLS). Cumulative layout shift is the sudden shift of webpage layout while a user is on the webpage. Even though CLS is not caused by user interaction with the website in any way, it surely does cause the user to lose patience. The user may really want to click one particular button but may end up clicking another button due to the element having shifted on the webpage. It takes patience to even wait for images to load in an email that you receive ? you can imagine how annoying it would be if the same happens on a webpage!
