When you are loading a page and start scrolling down, if there are any pictures still loading, the page jerks up and down which makes it hard to read articles with slow loading pages. This could probably be fixed by loading the image places before actually loading the images, so the pictures do not change the layout while loading.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load a page with pictures (like url given)
2. Scroll down the page while page is loading

Actual Results:  
The Screen moves up and down because of the pictures loading do not have a reserved space which causes text to move down, making things harder to read while pages are loading.


Expected Results:  
It should load the picture spaces before loading the actual picture so it will not move the text below it down and will already have a spot to go.

Your URL loads smoothly here without dancing the quickstep. But for example http://www.marktplaza.nl/LI-42B-li-40b-accu-batterij-Aldi-Traveler-Super-Slim-XS70-5305269.php does jump up and down and the page looks nothing like it should when it's finally loaded.

reproducible: only on some sites, most likely with lots of advertising or other graphics

This still reproduces sorta

But realistically, its the job of website authors to fix this using features like aspect-ratio
