    Hi Indika

    Thanks for reaching out.

    The CSS rule that floats the carosel items left is contained in:

    https://gratefuldiaries.com/wp-content/plugins/so-widgets-bundle/css/lib/slick.css

    At the moment, all I can think to do is to help that rule load faster. One possible place to start is to use https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/.

    Thanks Andrew, appreciate the quick response. It seems like a fundamental issue with this widget, because I can see that in the demos on your site as well. I will ignore for now. Thanks.

    Hi again, thanks for your feedback. As far as I know, the issue has been looked at. I’ll ask the team to investigate further to see if there is anything that can be done. All the best with your website.

    Hi. A quick message to let you know we’re working on a solution. It’ll be included in the next Widgets Bundle release. Cheers.

    Perfect, Thanks for the quick turn around time.

    Sure, no problem. Thanks for your feedback. We’re ironing out the last details. The fix will be in the next Widgets Bundle release, most likely late next week.

    If any SiteOrigin queries or requests arise, please, let us know.

    Cheers for now.

    Hi, a quick update. We’ve done our best given how the widget is currently coded. You can see a demo here:

    https://demo.siteorigin.com/corp/sandbox/?ao_noptimize=1

    Or perhaps slightly faster with Autoptimize:

    https://demo.siteorigin.com/corp/sandbox/

    At the moment, we can’t think of a method of getting the CLS score lower without making quite considerable re-writes to the widget architecture. It’s possible but will take time and budget. We’ve done the best we can with what we have at the moment.

    Hi, OK thanks for taking the time. I am a programmer and I know what this means, when working with legacy code.
    Hopefully in the future this widject can be optimized by default.
    Either way I can live with this for now.
    Thanks again
