I don't think anyone would disagree but, as things stand, you can have a page where things DO NOT visibly 'shift around' but still fail the test. I feel sorry

I don't think anyone would disagree but, as things stand, you can have a page where things DO NOT visibly 'shift around' but still fail the test.
I feel sorry for all the developers who are going to be inundated with complaints because their client's sites have failed yet another perceived important benchmark.
- epistasis 5y agoVisible to whom? Web developers often have no clue how their page appears to others, because they are developing locally, and the production site is close and has few network issues. So a lot of developers that think everything is fine end up having no clue what most people experience. When web fonts first started seeing widespread use, I would very frequently see 2-10 second delays when all content had loaded except for the font, including massive images, but I couldn't see any text. When I complained about this trend in the web to web developers I knew, almost none of them even seemed to believe it was possible, or at worst I was just a very unlucky user.
- dazc 5y agoIt should be obvious to a developer that he/she should test outside of this closed enviroment but, I agree that it's possible many do not. I stand by the statement that you can still fail the test despite having content that does not 'visibly' shift though.
- fauigerzigerk 5y agoSo what would cause this kind of shift?
