Google is also penalizing, or starting to penalize, sites that do this. EDIT: Actually I'm not sure if it affects anything yet, but it is a metric for the search console at least.
See https://web.dev/cls/ https://web.dev/cls/
They have a whole site dedicated to this. I tried asking the authors why Google does it themselves, but no answer that time.
- darekkay 6y agoIt's probably a "do what I tell, not what I do". But it hurts their credibility nonetheless.
- gherkinnn 6y agoThe “but CLS” argument doesn’t hold against: “User searches for something, and results have to be there in <1s. We then decide if we show the shopping widget, which takes 2-5s to generate. When placed correctly, said widget generates X amount of money, while these charts show that CLS decreases our income by only 0.1 X.” Of course, by only punishing the peasants for CLS, they can offer AMP as an easy alternative, or at the very least, streamline most of the internet to their liking without playing by those same rules themselves. It’s disgusting.
