Video ads ruining CWV and UX

December 07, 2024 16:36

There are too many video ads on my posts, and they are ruining my CWV. This has directly impacted my earnings. I see a video ad before my main image in every post, which has slowed down the page loading speed. In addition, there are sticky video ads in every post that make the screen look cluttered.

I want a solution for this, please. My blog is www.mygoodfoodworld.com

Hi Padma Kumar. The Universal Player (the sticky player that loads in the corner) and outstream in-content video ads (those that load into in-content ad slots) shouldn't affect your CWV at all since they'll load asynchronously with our script. Also, the outstream video ads will sometimes load into an in-content slot but not always - it just depends on the bidding. There isn't a way to block these, but you can block individual ad units on certain posts. This article goes into how to do that. If you would prefer to keep ads from displaying above your featured image on mobile, you can also wrap that section in a div. We have more on how you would do that here. Thanks!
