About href="#about"

Cumulative layout shift measures how much a page unexpectedly moves things around once they are displayed.

Regular interactions that change content like clicking a button are expected shifts and are not counted in the layout shift.

The data ScanGov uses to evaluate sites is provided by the Chrome user experience report. This dataset is compiled from real visitor data each domain. Sites with low traffic will not have any data available in the Chrome user experience report. In that case we run our own lighthouse audit.
