 * Take care at above the fold area. Everything in this area that loads deferred
   causes content shifting (CLS). This can be a deferred loaded image, ads, videos,
   async loaded css and so one.

 * If i understand right, by Load JS Deferred off (that I switched off now), the
   result should become better on CLS?
    Is that right?

 * If you are a speed junkie remove ads and video. If you don’t care about Pagespeed
   and if you care about money instead keep the ads.

 * Yes and No. It depends on your theme and if Javascript is used to display content.
   Normally deffered loading Javascript should be enabled.

 * I am not a money junkie. I wish that if i test on pagespeed, and the result is
   ok, this can be also be confirmed by webmastertools. I am using GT metrix also
   and the result is 100, but i wish that it all comes back to google. I wish to
   have more visits and be able also to monetize with them. Could you understand
   the point?
    That said, i’ve disabled for now any defer, and test on pagespeed
   still ok, hopefully it converts soon in good URL also on the Webmastertools checker.
 * If you have any suggestion to make sure google and user can have a good experience,
   let me know.
 * Thank you for your help

 * If you take care on best Pagespeed results remove ads and videos above the fold
   and keep deferred option enabled.

 * If i test the single post pages now with Google Pagespeed i have a 99 percent
   of speed rate. So this is a false report?
