Layout stability
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
Visual stability ensures that agents can reliably interact with elements based
on their position. Agents often rely on screenshots or coordinate-based
interaction.
Unexpected layout shifts can cause an agent to miscalculate the position of a
button or input, leading to failed interactions. The Cumulative Layout Shift
(CLS) audit measures these movements.
To learn how to optimize your site for stability, see the Cumulative Layout
Shift
documentation.
