track the decline in relevance of search results and, based on this, determine the optimal number of positions returned for a specific search query. For example, if the relevance decreases starting from the 28th result, the number of products downloaded can be reduced so that the user pays attention to the first positions. However, if all 100 first results have a very high level of relevance, the number of products downloaded can be increased.

Sometimes links to individual pages are so close to each other that it is difficult for a mobile user to click on them. And few people want endless page reloads.

Infinite scrolling can make the footer completely inaccessible, especially in the case of a large list of products. Uploading new results will constantly move the footer down.

In a study of mobile e-commerce sites (responsive web design), it was discovered that links to pages are sometimes very difficult to click accurately enough to avoid loading a new (unnecessary) page.

Infinite scrolling encouraged users to browse through many products (in fact, respondents browsed twice as many products on the sites tested with infinite scrolling as they did on the sites with pagination). However, as discussed earlier, it can make the footer inaccessible. The study found that this resulted in important footer links (such as Home, FAQ, Shipping, general cross-navigation, and related items) being inaccessible to users who expected to find japan whatsapp number list them there.

Therefore, the best solution would be to use one large “Load More” button at the end of the product list.

Mobile phone restrictions
• Inevitably small screen

The mobile phone screen is much smaller than the computer screen. This means that the product list will require more space, since only 2 or 3 products will fit on one screen length. Therefore, 50 items will make the list on the mobile phone screen many times longer than on the computer. In other words, the user will have to scroll the screen on the mobile phone many times more than on the computer. Developers and web design studios should not forget about this!

• Scrolling limitations
On touch devices, the user typically scrolls through a list by dragging a scroll box or pressing a finger on the scroll bar. On a computer, there are several options for scrolling: the mouse wheel, dragging the scroll box, and various keyboard input options (up and down arrows, page up and page down keys, spacebar, etc.).

• Slow scrolling

A long list can make scrolling too slow or difficult for the user to control. Some people scroll by slowly swiping their finger across the screen, in which case even a list of 50 items will take a long time to scroll through. Others scroll very quickly, tapping the screen and scrolling through the list in sections, in which case many items will simply be missed.
