Google Core Web Vitals: Will Cumulative Layout Shift Increase in Weight?
Google’s Core Web Vitals include three key metrics: loading speed, interactivity, and visual stability. Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) is a metric that measures the visual stability of a website. Starting in May 2021, Google will start using CLS as a ranking factor for search results. The weight of CLS in the overall ranking algorithm is not yet clear, but it’s likely to increase in importance as Google continues to prioritize user experience. Websites that prioritize visual stability and minimize layout shifts are likely to see improved search rankings and user engagement.
