Next.js Layout Shift on Mobile Devices
Your v0-generated Next.js application suffers from significant cumulative layout shift (CLS) on mobile devices. Page content jumps around as elements load, fonts swap, images resize, and dynamic content pushes other elements out of position. Users on mobile devices struggle to tap buttons and links as the layout shifts beneath their fingers.
CLS is one of Google's Core Web Vitals and directly impacts your search ranking. Mobile devices are especially affected because the narrower viewport amplifies the visual impact of any layout instability.
V0 often generates layouts that look stable on desktop but rely on content-dependent sizing that causes significant reflow on mobile screens as assets load progressively.
Error Messages You Might See
Lighthouse CLS score: 0.35 (poor, should be < 0.1)
Layout shift detected on element .hero-section
Largest Contentful Paint element shifted during load
Font swap caused layout instability
Common Causes
- Images without dimensions — img tags or Image components missing width/height cause reflow when images load
- Font loading without size-adjust — custom fonts loading after initial render cause text to reflow
- Dynamic content injection — client-side data fetching inserts content that pushes existing elements down
- CSS not mobile-optimized — desktop-first styles that reflow dramatically at mobile breakpoints
- Third-party scripts — ads, analytics, or chat widgets injecting elements after page load
How to Fix It
- Set explicit dimensions on media — always provide width and height on Image components or use aspect-ratio CSS
- Use next/font — replace external font loading with next/font for automatic size-adjust and font-display optimization
- Reserve space for dynamic content — use min-height or skeleton placeholders for content loaded via useEffect or SWR
- Add loading skeletons — implement Suspense boundaries with skeleton UI that matches the final layout dimensions
- Test with Lighthouse — run Lighthouse in mobile mode and address each CLS source identified in the report
- Use CSS contain — add
contain: layoutto sections that load independently to prevent cascading layout shifts

Caio Rodrigues
I'm a full-stack developer focused on building practical and scalable web applications. My main experience is with **React, TypeScript, and modern frontend architectures**, where I prioritize clean code, component reusability, and maintainable project structures.
I have strong experience working with **dynamic forms, state management (Redux / React Hook Form), and complex data-driven interfaces**. I enjoy solving real-world problems by turning ideas into reliable software that companies can actually use in their daily operations.
Beyond coding, I care about **software quality and architecture**, following best practices for componentization, code organization, and performance optimization.
I'm also comfortable working across the stack when needed, integrating APIs, handling business logic, and helping transform prototypes into production-ready systems.
My goal is always to deliver solutions that are **simple, efficient, and genuinely useful for the people using them.**

Jacek Rozanski
Senior PHP/Symfony developer and DevOps engineer with 20+ years of professional experience, running opcode.pl (web development agency, est. 2004).
Day job: I'm the sole backend developer at merketing company where I own and maintain 11 PHP/Symfony microservices on AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, CloudFront), handle the full CI/CD pipeline (Bitbucket Pipelines, Docker), and manage monitoring with Sentry and CloudWatch. These services handle high request volumes in production every month.
What I bring to AI-built apps:
- I audit and fix security issues (OWASP methodology), performance bottlenecks, and architectural problems in codebases generated by Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, and v0
- I refactor AI-generated prototypes into production-grade applications with proper error handling, testing, and clean architecture (SOLID, DDD, hexagonal architecture)
- I set up the infrastructure AI tools don't touch: AWS hosting, CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, database optimization, monitoring, and alerting
- I integrate external services: payment providers, email systems, partner APIs, SSO/auth
Tech stack: PHP 8.x, Symfony, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Docker, AWS (ECS, RDS, S3, SQS/SNS, CloudFront), Terraform, Supabase. I also use AI tools daily (Claude Code, Cursor) in my own workflow, so I understand both the strengths and the gaps in AI-generated code.
Based in Poland (CET timezone). Available for async work and calls during EU/US business hours.

I build and fix web apps across Next.js, Node.js, and DBs.
Comfortable jumping into messy code, broken APIs, and mysterious bugs.
If your project works in theory but not in reality, I help close that gap.

15+ years shipping production infrastructure for startups. Former CTO at qed.builders (acquired by The Sandbox).
Cursor ambassador and agentic tooling builder.
I've scaled systems, automated deployments, and built observability tools for AI coding workflows. I specialize in taking vibe-coded apps from broken prototype to production-ready: fixing Supabase auth/RLS, Stripe integrations, deployment pipelines, and cleaning up AI-generated spaghetti.
I build tools in this space (agentprobe, claudebin, micode) and understand both sides: how AI generates code and why it breaks.

Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
What is a good CLS score?
Google considers CLS below 0.1 as good, 0.1-0.25 as needs improvement, and above 0.25 as poor. Measure using Lighthouse or PageSpeed Insights in mobile mode.
How do I find what causes layout shift?
Open Chrome DevTools > Performance tab > check 'Layout Shifts' in the experience section. Each shift is highlighted with the affected element.
Does next/font fix all font-related CLS?
next/font automatically applies size-adjust and font-display: swap, eliminating most font-related layout shifts. It also preloads fonts for faster delivery.
