PERF_LAYOUT_001● MediumPerformance
The layout moves while the page is loading
By Leakly · Published · Updated
01The problem
Cumulative layout shift is high enough that content jumps under the visitor's cursor.
Shifting layouts cause mistaken clicks and make a page feel unfinished. When the conversion control moves, the mistap lands somewhere else entirely.
02How Leakly detects it
A structural fact counted in the rendered page, or a measurement against a threshold. Confidence ceiling for this detector family: 96%.
03Proof required
- A measured number, with its unit and the threshold it crosses.
Without it, the finding is not reported.
04How to fix it
Stop the layout moving during load.
- Reserve space for images, embeds and injected banners before they arrive.
- Load fonts with a metric-compatible fallback so text does not reflow.
Each audit that finds this leak includes the exact element, a suggested change and, for copy, a rewrite you can paste.
