Paginating 11k articles

Hello everyone!

I’m working on a POC for our Blog and I have a question about how to approach pagination and although I found lots of info about it, I’m still unsure about the best way to handle this.

So, as the title says, I have a blog with over 11k articles. I’m aware on how to create pages like /posts/1, /posts/2 etc, and I’m also aware of the benefits of doing so. However, that’s not what I’m after. Our current blog has infinite pagination on every single page where articles are posted: Category page, Tag page, Author page, Home etc.

So, loading all the articles in one go and slicing the array works, however this is quite slow and pages take a bit to load.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to approach this? I saw somewhere about creating json files in gatsby-node and using those with XHR to load additional posts during window scroll. Is this good? Is there a better approach out there? I will need to do this for every page, so I will end up with several json files.

Thanks!
