CLS issues (CLS issue: more than 0.25)

Hi there,

run a webpagetest on your site and check the CLS issue here:

https://www.webpagetest.org/vitals.php?test=230311_BiDc1F_5EX&run=1&cached=0#cls

It shows on load there is a lot of white space above your header, which disappears a second later.

Begin by disabling all plugins to see if one of those is interfering with your sites loading.

Hi, I did that. Even deleted the deactivated plugins and I stopped showing featured images on posts as they were on top of the post and large but still not solving the CLS Issue

Just to be clear – this is not a Theme related issue.
That big space is only present before the logo loads. So the most likely issue is the Logo being badly lazy loaded, you should check with the lazy loading provider.
I would suggest you exclude the logo from lazy loading anyway as its above the fold.

Hi, I understood that it’s not because of the theme and I really appreciate your help.

Can you please tell me how I exclude the logo from lazy loading, I am using the Smush plugin and there are settings to exclude posts and pages from lazy loading but How do I specify the logo to exclude?

Hi @harsha510,

Usually, plugins ask for classes to exclude. Try this class:

is-logo-image

I excluded the logo and it has not majorly changed anything in the results also the URL numbers have increased from 53 to 57 and this issue is for mobile and desktop both. Please help to fix this issue.

Do I have to wait for 28 days for google console to update its data?

Thanks.

Try disabling your plugins and check which is causing the CLS and other performance issue. Then, once you find out what it is, it would be best to reach out to their support regarding the issue.
