    Hello,
    I have a pretty low CLS Score on PageInsights and I figured out that most of it comes when loading wide images on mobile. While the page is loading, Enfold reserves a square space for the image (e.g. 318px x 318px) and once the image is loaded the div that it is in gets resized to the correct dimension (e.g. 318px x 127px). This obviously causes the entire text to be shifted upwards.

    I’ve kind of made a workaround with it by creating a new class “widepicture” and adding that class to pictures that are wide. (See below). But that’s obviously a poor workaround, because I cant know if the max-height value is appropriate and also I’d have to go to through all my posts and add the class to the pictures.

    Do you have any idea for a better solution for this issue?

    Are you guys working on CLS optimizations for the Enfold theme? That’s going to be very relevant for a lot of people very soon.

    Thank you in advance,

    @media only screen and (max-width: 800px) {
    .widepicture{
    max-height: 170px;
    }

    Hey Cleverreisenmitkids,

    Thank you for the image.

    Could you give us a link to the page where the layout shift occurs? If the width and height attribute of the image are specified, the browser will allocate the appropriate space for it while it is loading and should not cause any layout shifts, and Google will treat it as a stable element. Are you sure that the CLS is cause by the post image?

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    Hi,
    I located the problem, it was being caused by a lazy load plugin, sorry for the confusion.
    Thanks anyway for the answer :-)
