Guys, we have some fantastic news for everyone who is experiencing CLS or LCP issues inside WordPress.
CLS stands for cumulative layout shift. If your not aware of what CLS is, it’s a ranking factor used by google page speed, google basically calculates a shift in the design of your websites such as images, text, buttons, or any visible web objects.
CLS will be used as a ranking feature by google so therefore it’s important for you to rank well for this.
LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) is what is used to calculate the total loading time of your website.
Google ads will significantly slow down your website’s loading time resulting in larger LCP values.
As you can see above, highlighted in red this was our average results for this page for the last 30 days and the new text which is highlighted in green shows current stats. Total elimination is almost 1sec in LCP and 0.36sec of CLS which is enough to help our website go from rank 60 to 90 a huge +30 points to website rankings!
There have been many users who have been experiencing CLS or LCP issues but have no idea how to fix this!
Well, behold guys! we would like to introduce 1 plugin which will help you eliminate both LCP and CLS issues inside of WordPress!Â
