# Sidebar Load Delay Causing CLS

 * Even after using third party ad netework, my site was performing outstanding.
   But, after the 3.6.0 update, CLS score increased insanely from 0 to more than
   1 and even upto 1.6 in some pages.
    When I go throughout each elements causing
   CLS, I found that majority of CLS is caused by sidebar (even for mobile). So 
   when I started testing it in different devices, I realized that the main body
   loads in the whole screen first and then the sidebar loads (forms) and gets to
   its place. And this causes the body to shrink resulting CLS from body and sidebar
   itself forming late causes a massive CLS.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fsidebar-load-delay-causing-cls%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@grisma](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grisma/),

   and [desktop](https://share.bsf.io/o0ueO4Lj).
