How to Set Up Infinite Scroll in Squarespace 7.0
Infinite scroll automatically loads more blog posts as visitors scroll down your page. It's perfect for keeping people engaged, especially on mobile devices where they're used to scrolling through feeds.
But here's what you need to know: it only works with two specific templates in Squarespace 7.0.
TL;DR: Key Points
- Infinite scroll only works in Farro and Skye templates (Squarespace 7.0 only)
- Posts load automatically as users scroll - no clicking "next page"
- It's an all-or-nothing setting for your whole site
- Check your analytics first to see if your audience would benefit
- Easy to turn on and off through your design settings
Which Templates Support Infinite Scroll?
Only two template families in Squarespace 7.0 support infinite scroll:
- Farro family
- Skye family
If you're using any other template or Squarespace 7.1, you won't see this option. Squarespace 7.1 doesn't support infinite scroll at all.
How Infinite Scroll Works
When someone visits your blog, they'll see your usual posts. As they scroll down, more posts automatically load at the bottom of the page. This continues until they've seen all your posts.
People on slower internet connections might see brief loading pauses, but it's usually smooth.
Setting Up Infinite Scroll
For Farro Templates:
- Go to any blog page on your site
- Click Design > Site Styles
- Find Blog List: Load section
- Change Method to Infinite Scroll
- Click Save
For Skye Templates:
- Go to any blog page on your site
- Click Design > Site Styles
- Find Blog Grid Options
- Tick Infinite Scroll
- Click Save
Turning Off Infinite Scroll
Follow the same steps above, but:
- Farro: Change Method back to Button
- Skye: Untick Infinite Scroll
Should You Use Infinite Scroll?
Check your website analytics first. Look at:
- What devices your visitors use (mobile users often prefer infinite scroll)
- How many blog posts people typically read
- Your bounce rate on blog pages
If most of your traffic comes from mobile and people tend to browse multiple posts, infinite scroll could work well.
Pixelhaze Tip: Don't assume infinite scroll is always better. Some audiences prefer pagination buttons because they can easily return to specific posts. Test both approaches if you can.
FAQs
Can I control how many posts load at once?
With Skye templates, the number matches your blog page settings. Farro templates always load 24 posts.
Does this work on individual pages?
No, infinite scroll only works on blog listing pages, not individual blog posts or other page types.
What about Squarespace 7.1?
Infinite scroll isn't available in 7.1. If you need this feature, you'll need to stick with 7.0 and use Farro or Skye templates.
Jargon Buster
Infinite Scroll: Content loads automatically as you scroll down, like Instagram or Twitter feeds.
Template Families: Groups of related designs in Squarespace 7.0. Each family has similar features and styling options.
Analytics: Data about your website visitors, including what devices they use and how they browse your site.
Worth Remembering
Infinite scroll can keep visitors on your blog longer, but it's not right for every site. Consider your audience and how they actually use your website. Sometimes a simple "next page" button works better than endless scrolling.
If you're already using Farro or Skye templates, it's worth testing both approaches to see what works best for your specific audience.
