Pagination helps users manage large amounts of data by splitting it into manageable sections, allowing smooth navigation between content pages.
Use pagination when the data set is too large to display on one screen, such as in a product listing or database results.
Pagination is ideal when users need to navigate through long lists, tables, or collections without overwhelming them with all data at once.
Use pagination in blogs or news websites where multiple articles are organized into pages for better readability and access.
When displaying search results, pagination allows users to browse results in chunks without loading the entire dataset.
Avoid pagination when there is only a small amount of content, as it adds unnecessary navigation steps.
Do not use pagination in interfaces where continuous scrolling is more appropriate, such as social media feeds.
If users only need to browse a few items quickly, pagination can hinder the experience by requiring extra clicks.
Pagination is not ideal if users need to access non-sequential sections frequently; in this case, consider a more flexible navigation option.
Do not use pagination if users need to see all items at once for comparison or decision-making purposes.

Keyboard Navigation: Pagination should be navigable using keyboard controls, such as arrow keys, tabbing between buttons, or number shortcuts.
Screen Reader Compatibility: Ensure that each page control is labeled clearly for screen readers, so users know which page they are on and how to move between them.
Visible Focus State: Make sure pagination controls have a visible focus state when navigated with a keyboard to ensure accessibility for users with disabilities.
Responsive Design: Pagination should adapt to different screen sizes, providing easy navigation on both mobile and desktop interfaces.
Large Click/Tap Targets: Make sure that buttons for navigation, such as "Next" and "Previous," are large enough to click or tap easily on both desktop and mobile.
E-commerce Product Listings: Paginate product listings to make it easier for customers to browse through large catalogs without loading all items at once.
Blog Article Listings: On a blog website, pagination helps divide articles into pages, improving both the browsing experience and load time.
Search Results Pages: Pagination is often used to present search results, allowing users to scroll through options without overwhelming them with all results at once.
Data Tables in Dashboards: In enterprise applications, pagination helps break down large tables of data, such as sales figures or customer data, into manageable sections.
