Page switches or automatic scrolling, let's figure it out. Pagination, page-by-page output of information is called pagination. Page numbers in the output of the news feed or products can be seen on any site or online store at the bottom. Infinite scrolling, it loads when scrolling the page, that is, the lower posts appear automatically, often with beautiful transition effects. Well, and something in between, a button to load more, show more and the like. Many have seen all of this.

Each of these methods has its pros and cons. Personal opinion on this matter, the news resource has better switches, since automatic scrolling has a number of disadvantages. The load more button is more relevant for goods. Moreover, the last two methods do not always work correctly. Devices with limited resources may start to slow down due to the huge amount of loaded information.

Website developers should weigh the pros and cons of infinite scrolling and pagination before making a choice. For example, infinite scrolling works well for social media, where users consume an endless stream without searching for anything specific. Pagination works better for search results pages, where people are looking for something specific and where the position of data elements is important.
