However, AJAX is the best way to do it, it prevents the initial load of all that information and lets you pull it out as it's needed. I don't see how any alternative to it is needed really, it works fine. Perhaps the AJAX usage you've seen just hasn't been done well?
And what happens.. If there are thousands of items which need to be loaded?
Even a smaller set would be a pain on mobile devices.
And following that logic, you might as well just load everything and just keep it all as visible, instead of going down the "Load More" route.
Did you read all of my post? I mentioned directly after that how AJAX is the best way to go about it.
