To improve CLS, Chloe acted on many elements:
1. Reserving the space of the Promo Content in terms of ratio.
2. Adopt Skeleton Pattern to render some colored rectangles prior
to Product images loading.
3. Reserve the space for the Promo Banner async request before
receiving the message.
4. Reserved the space for the Filters dynamic component.

Elements that affect LCP
1. ![]()

2. elements inside an element
3. elements (if specified, the poster image is used to measure LCP)
4. An element with a background image loaded via the url() function (as
opposed to a CSS gradient)
5. Block-level elements containing text nodes or other inline-level text elements

Image Optimizations
1. Adopt an image CDN.

3. Resized images to 282px
intrinsic size - while in the
viewport images have size
of 152px max (right
balance on Retina devices).
4. They tuned in the Lazy

requesting offscreen
images.
