CLS
Abbreviation for Cumulative Layout Shift
In short and in plain language
CLS is a measure of how much a web page jumps while it loads.
It measures how much content moves in a way you do not expect.
A low value means the page stays calm. Then visitors do not tap the wrong spot by mistake.
Search engines can take such values into account.
