Why don't the page numbers appear in the Webflow pagination settings for the CMS load more feature?
The page numbers do not appear in the Webflow pagination settings for the CMS load more feature because the load more feature is designed to dynamically load content as the user scrolls down the page, rather than loading content on different pages. The load more feature allows for a smoother and more seamless user experience by eliminating the need to navigate between multiple pages.
When using the CMS load more feature in Webflow, the content is fetched from the CMS collection and displayed on a single page. As the user reaches the end of the loaded content, additional content is loaded dynamically, without the need for a page refresh or a new URL.
Without traditional pagination, where page numbers are typically displayed, the load more feature in Webflow usually employs visual cues such as a "Load More" button or an infinite scroll to indicate to the user that there is more content to be loaded. These cues ensure that the user understands that they can continue scrolling for more content rather than needing to navigate to a different page.
By utilizing the load more feature, Webflow allows for a more fluid and engaging browsing experience, especially for sites with a large amount of content in their CMS collections. It also eliminates the need for users to manually click through numerous pages to access the desired content, making navigation more efficient.
In summary, the page numbers do not appear in the Webflow pagination settings for the CMS load more feature because it focuses on dynamically loading content as the user scrolls, rather than splitting the content across different pages.
