SEO-friendly infinite scroll that keeps your place on the back button

Page-by-page navigation breaks browsing momentum, and losing their place after opening a product is worse. Auto Infinite Scroll appends the next archive page automatically or behind a Load More button, then restores the shopper's saved position when they press Back.

Pagination makes people stop browsing.

Auto Infinite Scroll loads the next archive page into the current product or post list, using automatic scrolling, a Load More button or a controlled mixture of both.

How paging becomes a continuous archive
Find the existing result list and next-page link
Auto Infinite Scroll uses CSS selectors for the archive container, pagination and next link.
Fetch the next normal archive URL
When the trigger is reached, the plugin requests the next paginated page and extracts only the configured items.
Append the items and continue
The new products or posts are added to the current list, plugin events fire and the next-page link is replaced for the following load.

This original walkthrough shows the core browsing problem and the Back-button behaviour. The interface is older, but the current plugin still saves the WooCommerce archive state in local storage and restores it on a matching Back navigation.
