Tablet and phone users love to be able to keep scrolling rather than hitting small ‘next’ buttons and our infinite scroll plugin adds that functionality with speed and scalability in mind.
Firstly, it automatically integrates with WooCommerce and your blogs, but secondly it has a magic memory stored in the browser cache. This means when users click back from a specific article or product to the archive page, the archive loads instantly – no waiting for pages 1, 2 and 3 to re-load – instant loading.
Auto Infinite Scroll is a lightweight, scalable infinite scroll plugin. It automatically configures itself for WooCommerce, but it works on all your pagination.
It means that instead of users paging between results, they can just scroll down and keep scrolling. For users on all platforms, but especially phones and tablets, this is a godsend.
It triggers page 2, page 3 loading events so you can see these pages in Google Analytics, but critically – it retains memory of the last archive page in the users browser. This means that if/when a user clicks through to a specific product page or a specific post page, when they click the back button in the browser they return to the exact spot they were at before with no further loading required.
That means that auto infinite scroll is very user friendly.
- Lets users scroll down instead of paging between products
- Page hits still occur in Google Analytics for page 2, 3 etc
- Has special code to store the extended page (page 1 + 2 + 3 etc) in browser memory, so if the user goes to a product page and then hits the browser back button, they end up back exactly where they left off. Other plugins force the user to scroll down again, or only include that single page
- This advanced code eliminates massive amounts of server usage from your website, allowing more scalability
