Reducing Layout Shifts Caused by Font Rendering

Fix layout shift caused by font loading! Font loading can trigger reflows and visual instability, negatively impacting user experience and Core Web Vitals, specifically the Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) metric.

We’ll look at new and existing CSS that focus on reducing visual discrepancies and optimise font loading behaviour. We’ll enhance visual stability, reduce layout shifts, and improve web performance scores and ultimately create a better overall user experience.
