Load More Button
A Load More Button is a user interface pattern that allows users to incrementally load additional content, such as items in a list or feed, without navigating to a new page. It is commonly used in web and mobile applications to improve performance and user experience by reducing initial page load times and providing on-demand data fetching. This pattern is often implemented with JavaScript or frontend frameworks to dynamically fetch and display content from a server or API.
Developers should use a Load More Button when dealing with large datasets or content-heavy pages where loading all data at once would be inefficient or overwhelming for users, such as in social media feeds, e-commerce product listings, or news articles. It helps optimize performance by reducing server load and bandwidth usage, while giving users control over how much content they view, which can enhance engagement and reduce bounce rates compared to traditional pagination.
