When browsing the internet on a phone, why does the screen always seem to jump up or down at the exact same moment you click, causing you to click the wrong link?

Question

So; I know the screen jumps up and down a bit as things like ads load.

But, it seems like more often than not everything is totally stationary and done loading, then in the exact moment I try to click a link, the screen jumps again causing me to click something totally different.

Is it in my head? Why does this happen?

i think you may be too fast for the webpage. the page will load each element once at a time, and not in an order that might be obvious. you are likely aiming for the location of a link that isn’t in its final position.
