WM LazyLoad extends Joomla Category Blog pagination

Category Blog already gives Joomla sites a paginated article list: visitors can move between pages using the core pagination controls. A template override can change the markup and appearance of each blog item, but it does not normally turn pagination into infinite scroll. Sites that want articles to appear without a full page change generally use custom JavaScript or an extension. According to the listing, WM LazyLoad goes beyond core by adding automatic infinite scroll, a Load more button, or a hybrid of the two, while using Joomla's own next-page URL and the template's blog item output rather than replacing the article query.

The likely audience is a content-heavy site using Category Blog views, such as a magazine, documentation hub, or news site, where reducing manual page navigation is worth the added client-side behavior. It may also suit a team that wants this limited to particular menu items or categories. A small brochure site with few articles, a site that does not use Category Blog, or a project that deliberately keeps standard pagination has little reason to install it.

WM Studios lists the extension as a free download under the GPLv2 or later license. The directory shows two other extensions from the developer and no reviews for this one. The listing specifies Joomla 6.1+ and PHP 8.3+, but prospective users should still check the current documentation, template compatibility, accessibility of the loading controls, browser-history behavior, and interactions with other scripts. It also does not explain support arrangements, update policy, or performance on large categories. The listing says it requires no Backward Compatibility plugin.
