<p>Infinite scroll has been called autopagerize, unpaginate, endless pages. But essentially it is pre-fetching content from a subsequent page and adding it directly to the user’s current page.</p>
<p>When a user scrolls towards the bottom of the page, the next page of posts is automatically retrieved and appended. This means they never need to click “Next Page”, which <em>dramatically increases stickiness</em>.</p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Works out-of-the-box for many popular WordPress themes — just activate the plugin and scroll</li>
<li>Fully customizable to adapt to your site and theme</li>
<li>Requires no (hopefully) template hacking, only a knowledge of CSS selectors.</li>
<li>Relies on shared database of common themes to simplify installation process</li>
<li>Maintain local database of theme presets for all installed themes (shared across network on multisite installs)</li>
<li>Countless API endpoints to modify the behavior.</li>
<li>Backwards compatible: Will not break RSS readers, mobile devices, or browsers with javascript</li>
</ul>
