Get Auto Infinite Scroll →Comparing WP AJAX Pagination with Auto Infinite Scroll? This page breaks down the key differences and similarities so you can find the best fit for your WordPress or WooCommerce store.
Overview of WP AJAX Pagination
WP AJAX Pagination replaces standard WordPress pagination with AJAX-loaded pages and load-more buttons. It supports posts, pages, and custom post types with configurable triggers and smooth transitions.
How Auto Infinite Scroll differs from WP AJAX Pagination
All plugins from Super Speedy Plugins share a SQL-first architecture and an uncompromising focus on performance — and Auto Infinite Scroll is no different. Here is what sets it apart:
Auto Infinite Scroll turns paged WooCommerce and blog archives into smooth, continuous scrolling, and it sets itself up automatically on 95%+ of themes. It also does the one thing most infinite-scroll plugins get wrong: it remembers the archive in the browser, so a shopper who opens a product and clicks the back button lands at their exact scroll position instantly, with no reload.
How to choose between WP AJAX Pagination and Auto Infinite Scroll?
For stores where page speed translates directly into revenue, the comparison between WP AJAX Pagination and Auto Infinite Scroll is worth examining carefully. Auto Infinite Scroll's SQL-first design means performance is built into the architecture rather than bolted on afterwards. Every release is tested against a one-million-product WooCommerce catalogue, so performance scales with your store rather than against it. Try it on your staging environment using the free trial — you will see the difference immediately.
What do others say about Auto Infinite Scroll?
A must-have plugin if you use some option in Scalability Pro to speed up your webshop. But even without that, it really does what it says and makes the products endless scroll, making it faster for the client to scroll through the products.
After already seeing huge speed increases with the Scalability Pro plugin I decided to purchase the rest of the plugins in the WPI Performance Pack, including this Auto Infinite Scroll plugin. Within a few minutes I had configured the wrapper parameters and I was up an running. It works perfectly!! A great feature is when the user clicks on a product from the shop page and then clicks the "back" button this plugin remembers where they were on the shop page and saves them scrolling back down to where they were – this is something I've never seen before and I've used ALOT of infinite scrollers! By combining the plugins from the WPIntense I now have a WordPress site with over 5k items on an average server with load times of under 3secs! I really can't rate WPIntense enough. In a competitive online world customer experience is everything and WPIntense have realised this. Thanks for everything!
Due to the good experiences with other first-class plugins from wpintense (Scalability Pro, faster-woo-widgets), we immediately purchased the lifetime licence for WPI Auto Infinite Scroll without thinking. The plugin works great and is a good extension for our (especially mobile) visitors. The support (also individual problems) immediately responded to our wishes and also suggestions for improvement. A forum is available for customers, which provides solutions within a very short time!

What's new in Auto Infinite Scroll?
1.64 (20th May 2026)
- Updated the Super Speedy Settings page: added a "Recheck Licenses" button above the licence table so customers have a clear way to refresh licence status after a renewal or upgrade without scrolling down to the licence-key field. The button is disabled until a licence key is entered/saved and re-enables as you type.
- The Recheck flow now also force-bypasses the auth-server's own 1-hour licence cache (via a `force=1` flag on the `wpiapi/check_product_key` call), so renewals/upgrades that completed less than an hour before a recheck no longer show as expired/exceeded. Normal admin page loads continue to use both caches as before — only an explicit Recheck click bypasses them. (Lives in the `super-speedy-settings` submodule, so the change propagates to every Super Speedy plugin.)
1.63 (13th March 2026)
- Fixed Woo Variation Swatches not initializing on products restored via magic back button history
- Fire third-party plugin re-initialization events after restoring archive from local storage
1.62 (18th November 2025)
- Added full namespacing for plugin update checker to prevent conflicts with 3rd party plugins
