    watching the page load on my phone, i can see content jump down at least once. my gut says its teh cookie banner, because thats the last thing we changed, but i want proof before arguing with the marketing team. how do i find exactly which element moves and why? id love a repeatable workflow i can hand to the rest of the team. pls help 馃檹

  6. reserve space for anything that loads late, give images and iframes width and height attributes or CSS aspect-ratio. For ad slots and ebmeds, set a min-height on the container matching the expected size. hope that helps :)
