Pagination Element
Pagination element allows users to divide content into separate pages, making it easier for visitors to navigate through large datasets or lists of items.
Whether you're displaying blog posts, product listings, or search results, pagination helps improve user experience by organizing content into manageable chunks.
What is the Pagination Element?
The Pagination element is a user interface component that enables users to navigate through multiple pages of content.
It typically consists of numbered links or buttons representing each page, along with navigation controls such as "Previous" and "Next" buttons. Pagination is commonly used in websites with long lists of items to improve readability and accessibility.
