Third-party embeds can cause layout shifts if space isn't reserved for them. BuzzFeed wrote a great case study on reducing such shifts: bit.ly/cls-part1, bit.ly/cls-part2, bit.ly/cls-part3

My team has been working on reducing layout shifts at BuzzFeed - not a straightforward task given our reliance on third party embeddable content and ads! We've gone from a score of 20 (😬) to 79 (😊) and browsing feels a ton better. We finally wrote about how we did it...

Hopefully there's some useful info in there to help you if you're also trying to get on top of layout shifts! It's certainly not easy. Shoutout to @EdgarSanchezArt for being the brains of the team and also everyone else @buzzfeedexp tech
