woocommerce cart block adding massive “flashing”
-
I’m using the gutenberg cart block for my /basket/ page. However the page loads terribly. Big screen loads, then flashes off, then the cart loads… Looks terrible. I’m sure some cutomers will be put off.
I’m using storefront theme, so that should be ok, and no customisations on this page… Please assist in how I remove the flashing
thank you

BTW, I tried the old [woocommerce_cart] shortcode method. That works fantastically, loads super quick , no noticeable issues, and no CLS. Only issue I’ve noticed is that pageinsights thinks the basket is empty. (But thats also happening on the new version. ) Point is the page looks good, loads good, no CLS, and looks correct on the front end
thanks, Bruce
Hi @brucemacg,
Thanks so much for sharing the screen recording and your system status report; they really helped clarify the situation.
From what I’ve reviewed, nothing in your setup stands out as problematic, and your Loom recording doesn’t show any errors or issues that seem out of the expected behavior. I also checked the frontend of your cart page, and everything appears to be loading as expected. The “flashing” effect you mentioned seems to be the initial display of the header and footer before the Gutenberg Cart Block finishes loading. This is normal behavior, as the block content is rendered after the page structure (header/footer) loads.
Since you’ve tested with the classic [woocommerce_cart] shortcode and found it loads much smoother, it might be worth using that as a fallback for now.
That said, I’ve noted your feedback, and I can understand how a smoother initial load would be important for user experience. If anything changes or you notice new behavior, we’re here to help further!
Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately, the CLS issue is very noticeable and impacts the user experience significantly. I’ve tested it across multiple devices—Mac, Windows, Android, and tablets—and the layout shift is jarring. This is happening at a critical moment in the user journey, just before checkout, and it doesn’t inspire trust.
Here are my PageSpeed Insights scores for the cart page using the new Cart Block:
- Mobile: CLS 0.996, Performance 31%
- Desktop: CLS 0.571, Performance 23%
You can verify here:
These are the worst metrics across my entire site. I’m using the default Storefront theme, so I would expect compatibility with WooCommerce blocks to be optimal. Also, there’s no caching enabled on the live site, so it’s not a cache-related issue.
I’m aware the classic
[woocommerce_cart]shortcode has limitations—it doesn’t integrate cleanly with my PW Gift Cards plugin, and the styling is outdated. But performance is vastly better, with CLS nearly zero and scores in the 90s (especially on desktop).Given that this is the official cart replacement, it’s concerning that performance is this poor out of the box. I’d really like to continue using the new Cart Block, but only if we can identify the cause of the CLS and performance drop.
Happy to help test or provide more info if needed.
Kind regards,
BruceBTW I pasted my cart into chatgdp. (Not that they are always correct…) for what its worth, this is what the advice was
I’ve identified that the issue seems directly tied to the
.is-loadingwrapper delaying hydration of cart content, causing a full-page reflow. Can the team consider introducing a skeleton or placeholder system for these blocks, or rendering a static shell for layout continuity before JS kicks in? It would drastically reduce the CLS issue and bring real-world UX performance closer to lab expectations.…
Hi @brucemacg,
Thank you for the explanation. I also reviewed the video you shared, and I couldn’t identify anything unusual. Your site loads quickly and smoothly—both during my visit and in the video—without any noticeable delays.
I didn’t observe the flash on the cart page that you mentioned, nor did I experience any performance issues while checking your cart.
Given that your site is running around 50 plugins, it’s actually performing exceptionally well. If what you’re referring to is the brief shift in the footer before the cart content fully loads, this is usually due to caching, lazy loading, or CSS/JS minification from optimization plugins. With the number of plugins you’re using, this behavior isn’t unexpected and isn’t considered a problem.
If you’d like to further optimize your site, I recommend consulting a WordPress optimization expert. You can find reliable professionals at codeable.io.
In the meantime, since you’re using WooCommerce, would you mind taking a moment to leave an honest review for the plugin? We rely on feedback like yours to help us improve: WooCommerce Plugin Review.
