    Hi, I need help. The Core Web Vitals on my website does not pass because of the cumulative layout shift. I can't figure out what is shifting on the website that causes core vitals to fail.
    Here is my website URL:

    Thanks

    I'm having the same issue. I'm surprised that there aren't more people complaining about this giving that it is soon to be a Google ranking factor.

    Your site scores an A on GTmetrix and a CLS of 0.06, so it looks like you've fixed your major issues. For some reason lighthouse in chrome inspector tools isn't quite as impressed.

    For others struggling with this issue, it comes down to this:

    You're loading the CSS and javascript that style your above the fold content too late. Get a plugin that generates criticall CSS and inline it in the head. Make sure to load Jquery and any other layout-affecting JS as render-blocking.

    Matt,
    Thanks for the response. I'm not sure how GTmetrix is calculating its score, but when I go to Google Page Speed Insights, (https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/) its a completely different story. None of the pages pass the Core Web Vitals. Also in Google Search Console, it shows a bunch of poor URLs.

    Thanks
