What is CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift)?
Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) is a metric used to assess a user's visual experience by measuring how much visible content shifts on a page as it loads. High CLS scores indicate poor user experience, as unexpected movements can lead to mis-clicks and frustration.
CLS is part of Google's Core Web Vitals, which are essential metrics for evaluating web performance. It focuses on the unexpected shifts that occur when fonts load, images resize, or ads appear, disrupting the user's reading flow.
Why It Matters for Monaco Luxury Brands
For luxury brands operating in Monaco, maintaining a seamless digital experience is paramount. During high-profile events like the Monaco Grand Prix and the Yacht Show, a stable and engaging online presence helps attract and retain the attention of UHNWIs. A high CLS can detract from the premium feel of a brand, impacting user perception and engagement.
How Monaco Creative Uses It
At Monaco Creative, we prioritize optimizing CLS for our clients' websites. By ensuring minimal layout shifts, we enhance user engagement and improve conversion rates. Our approach includes preloading critical resources and optimizing image and font delivery to maintain the integrity of the luxury experience online.
