How to Install Infinite Scroll in Blogger

Infinite scroll on a website is a user interface design pattern that automatically loads more content as the user scrolls down the page, eliminating the need for pagination or clicking a "load more" button. With infinite scroll, the content is loaded dynamically, often via AJAX, as the user reaches the bottom of the current page.

Common Use of Infinite Scroll

This design pattern is commonly used for long pages or feeds, such as social media timelines or image galleries.

It can provide a seamless and engaging user experience by allowing users to continuously scroll through the content without interruptions, and without having to wait for new pages to load.

Issues infinite scroll cause:

There are some potential downsides to infinite scroll. One of the main issues is that it can make it difficult for users to find and navigate to specific pieces of content, as the page continuously loads new content.

It can also impact website performance, as loading too much content at once can slow down page load times and increase bandwidth usage.

How to optimize infinite scroll

To optimize the use of infinite scroll, website owners should carefully consider the type of content and how it is presented to users.

For example, including clear navigation elements or search features can help users find specific content within the infinite scroll design.

Additionally, monitoring website performance and optimizing content loading strategies can help ensure that infinite scroll doesn't negatively impact page load times.

Customizations:

In the above code provided, you have to change the highlighted text (article) with the class of that element which is your post on your home page or you can say you have to replace it with the class of elements that are the children of the element with class blog-posts.
