Infinite scroll alternatives

Designers don't have to add infinite scroll to their websites or apps. Instead, they can opt for one of two common alternatives: pagination and load-more buttons.

1. Which is better pagination or infinite scroll?
2. Is infinite scroll good UX?
3. Is infinite scroll SEO friendly?

Which is better pagination or infinite scroll?

Pagination works better on websites where users are looking for specific pieces of content. Whereas infinite scroll is better suited for websites where you want users to discover and explore the content available. Infinite scroll is also much more effective for mobile devices.

Is infinite scroll good UX?

Summary: Infinite scrolling minimizes interaction costs and increases user engagement, but it isn't a good fit for every website. For some, pagination or a Load More button will be a better solution.

Is infinite scroll SEO friendly?

Infinite scroll is challenging SEO-wise.

Because of website indexing. Google enables JavaScript to load only a part of the content of a given page – the rest of the content is loaded when the user scrolls down the page.
