    Google Search Console says about 80% of the pages on goldcardauctions.com as follows… CLS Issue: More Than .25 on desktop and mobile … and this needs to be fixed according to search console…

    could the lazy load associated with SG Optimizer be the issue?

    Hey there @tommyvalmeyer,

    This issue is not associated with the Lazy Load option. It is possible to have that notice because of sliders, changing content, etc.

    You can test it by disabling the Lazi load option. There should be no difference in the test with the enabled or disabled option.

    Kind Regards,
    Stoyan

    Hi
    I found that using sg optimizer lazy loading, in Chrome you do get CLS, as Chrome for some reason allocates a square as the space for the image, independantly of the actual aspect ration.
    You can check by loading your site, but not scrolling. Then right click in your side and select inspect. In the Dev Tools window scroll down to an image and look in the attributes what dimensions Chrome thinks the image is.
    If it is different then your image size, it would mean that when loading the actual image (when scrolling) the space allocated would change. Especially on slow internet connections or when scrolling really quickly this will cause CLS.
    Cheers
