CLS

Abbreviation for Cumulative Layout Shift

In short and in plain language

CLS is a measure for web pages. It shows how much the content moves around by surprise while a page loads.

A low value means the page stays calm and still.

The value can change how easy the page is to use. It can also change how search engines rate the page.
