Improvement: Faster category page navigation

Hi everyone,

We’ve just pushed some changes affecting the category listing page pagination. The changes involve not reloading the entire page when jumping between result sets using HTML5 and AJAX . We’re hoping that this will result in faster navigation and better usability encouraging users to browse through more items.

Since this is a new feature, we’ll appreciate any feedback / bug reports from you.

Please post here if you notice anything strange.

Hope you like it.

Pro tip: You can also use left and right arrow keys to navigate through the pages.

Sweet, seen you fixed the bug on that… It would be interesting to see how many extra sales this would bring. Do envato do A/B testing?

This applies to all marketplaces?

Nice one, this is really faster.

Thanks for your feedback.

We’re not using A/B testing for this feature but we have some metrics in place which will tell us if users browse through more pages.

Yes it applies to every marketplace except Photodune which doesn’t have categories (just tags). We’ll be adding this feature to the search results once we’re enough confident of its stability.

Yes, this is really faster now. This should be applied for “Search results” page, too.
