Safari browser jumping around

[j44ke]

Whenever I open a web page, the page jumps around up and down as images load and things appear, to the point where sometimes I feel like I am playing whack a mole as I try to click on things that suddenly dart up or down or sideways away from my cursor. Often this results in me clicking on of the Google adverts or advertising inserts instead of the item on the page itself that I was trying to click.

Are these delays in loading programmed into the page to reap the benefits of click-throughs for the web page owners? The website host? Or is this just bad website construction?

I have a very fast connection, so these pages should load pretty quickly. It seems then that these delays and shifts are either Safari's issue or actually purposeful by whoever is putting together the websites.

Just wunnering.....

Bad website construction probably made worse by not loading ads after core functions. Unlikely to be a malicious intent to get you to click on ads.
