 * Hi there,
 * I am trying to improve the CLS of my site and notice the Strong Testimonials 
   section at the top of my /shop/ page shifts around quite a lot during load. It
   starts out very wide, shifts around a bit, adds the icons, before finally settling.
   This does not seem to improve on reloads.
 * With this being at the very top of the page and the first thing a customer sees,
   Google is seeing this as a large cumulative layout shift.
 * Is there any way to load the Strong Testimonials view more effectively?
 * Thanks.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Flayout-shift-whilst-loading%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello [@baemosse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/baemosse/),
 * Thank you for reaching out!
    This most likely happens because of the cache plugin
   you’re using (WP Rocket, I believe). It moves all the CSS files in the footer
   and because of that they are loaded last, causing the issue you are seeing. Please
   turn off that plugin for a few minutes and see if it fixes the issue.
 * Warmly,
    Mihaela
