Instead, you will see see the classic and old pagination bar at the footer of the Google Search results.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Desktop first. <\/strong>Starting today, Google will start to turn off continuous scroll for the desktop Google Search results. <\/p>\n<p>Google launched continuous scroll on desktop search in December 2022 and first in mobile search in October 2021.  So continuous scroll only lasted about a year and a half for desktop search.<\/p>\n<p>Google will remove continuous scroll from the mobile search results in the coming month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Google said. <\/strong>A Google spokesperson told Search Engine Land that today, June 25, removing the ability to continuously scroll on desktop Search results, followed by mobile in the coming months. <\/p>\n<p>The \u201cNext\u201d at the bottom of the page will show on desktop search and the \u201cMore results\u201d button will show on mobile search.<\/p>\n<p>Google said this change is to allow the search company to serve the search results faster on more searches, instead of automatically loading results that users haven\u2019t explicitly requested. Google also told us that it found that loading more results automatically didn\u2019t lead to significantly higher satisfaction with Google Search.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What continuous scroll looks like on desktop.\u00a0<\/strong>Here is a GIF of continues scroll in action on desktop search:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"391\" alt=\"Google Search Continous Scroll\" class=\"wp-image-443536\" src=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/wp-content\/seloads\/2024\/06\/google-search-continous-scroll.gif\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"391\" src=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/wp-content\/seloads\/2024\/06\/google-search-continous-scroll.gif\" alt=\"Google Search Continous Scroll\" class=\"wp-image-443536\"><\/figure>\n<p><strong>What the pagination bar<\/strong> <strong>looks like<\/strong>.
