CLS
Also known as · Cumulative Layout Shift
Aggregate measure of unexpected layout movement during page load. Target: under 0.1.Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) measures unexpected layout movement during page load — a common cause of misclicks and conversion loss. Most CLS comes from images without dimensions, fonts loading without size hints, or ads loading after primary content. Target is under 0.1; the original recommended bound was 0.25.
