A/B Testing Idea #15 - Include an option to adjust the number of items displayed per page
Description
Adding an option to adjust the number of items displayed per page allows your visitor to feel more in control of how they spend time on your site. This will allow also them to adjust the layout to what they are most comfortable with. The more at ease they feel, the more trust they will place on your brand and products.
Moreover, giving an option to reduce the number of products shown often leads to more satisfying decision-making.
Research has demonstrated that information overload leads individuals to reach less effective and satisfactory decisions than they would with less information or fewer options.
