Get Auto Infinite Scroll →Comparing Pagination by BJ 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 Pagination by BJ
Pagination by BJ is a WordPress pagination plugin that enhances standard pagination with AJAX-loaded page transitions. It offers configurable load triggers, smooth scroll behaviour, and compatibility with standard WordPress loop queries.
How Auto Infinite Scroll differs from Pagination by BJ
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:
Tablet and phone users love to be able to keep scrolling rather than hitting small ‘next’ buttons, and our infinite scroll plugin adds that functionality with speed and scalability in mind.
Firstly, it automatically integrates with WooCommerce and your blogs. Secondly, it has a magic memory stored in the browser cache. This means when users click back from a specific article or product to the archive page, the archive loads instantly – no waiting for pages 1, 2, and 3 to re-load – instant loading.
Pagination by BJ enhances standard WordPress pagination using the existing WP_Query loop — useful but limited by the underlying query performance. Auto Infinite Scroll uses SQL-first direct queries that bypass the standard WordPress query stack, giving faster AJAX responses that are particularly noticeable on large product archives where WP_Query overhead accumulates.
How to choose between Pagination by BJ and Auto Infinite Scroll?
Pagination by BJ is a competent AJAX pagination tool, but stores with large catalogues will benefit from the SQL-first architecture of Auto Infinite Scroll — where faster query execution translates directly into smoother infinite loading. Tested against one-million-product catalogues, with a free trial available.
What do others say about Auto Infinite Scroll?
Was having a problem with a competitor plugin so decided to purchase this. Worked instantly with my configuration, literally did nothing and it worked. That's how good it was. Highly recommend it, plugin developers are extremely knowledgeable and on top of everything they do.
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!
