Hi
It’s hard for me to explain this simply (perhaps because I don’t know the correct phrase!) but my homepage loads in ‘chunks’, section by section – logo, banners, sections, buttons etc one after another.
Although it loads fast, it looks weird shuffling things about.
Is there a setting to stop this please?
Thank you.

Make a Loom video of what you’re seeing and share your url.
The way WordPress works is it sends an HTML document to your webbrowser. This document contains marked-up content and links to other resources.
The visitor’s browser starts building the visual representation of your webpage based on the information in the HTML document.
Sometimes the information is incomplete, the linked resources are large (meaning they hold up the loading of other resources), or the linked resources are loaded late. The result is a choppy effect where parts of the page are moved around while the page is still being rendered.
What the causes are differ from page to page and from site to site, there is no single solution.
What you might do is run your page through either Google Page Speed or Chrome’s Lighthouse. Part of the report will be information about why your page is loading slowly, which resources should be loaded late and so on.
Efficient caching techniques might also help.
Which theme are you using? Are you running a regular WordPress or a headless one?
