Layout shift count or the framework

Does the framework explain the layout shift count difference?

On React, 96% of sites with 1 to 2 layout shifts layout shift count have a good CLS, against 96% of React sites with 0 layout shifts. Within React, sites with 1 to 2 layout shifts and 0 layout shifts have a good CLS about equally often.

How repeated layout shifts erode visual stability in the field

Each unexpected layout frame during page load increments the shift count. Across 4,572 sites (81.3%) with 0 lab shifts, 96% pass field CLS, and across 905 sites (16.1%) with 1 to 2 shifts, 96% pass field CLS. When a page triggers 3 to 5 shifts (1.7%), good field CLS drops to 100%, and at 6 or more shifts (0.8%, 46 sites) good field CLS falls to 88%.
