4. Assess Your Categories

You could split a category if certain parts of your blog grow faster than others. As a rule of thumb, no single category should be more than twice as large as another.

Your blog may be growing, and you are focusing on a niche-related topic. This is how blogging works. You should evaluate your categories every few months and ask yourself if one category is growing faster than the other.

5. Add Pagination

You can reduce clicks by adding pagination numbers linking to, for example, the first, second, and third pages, tenth, twenty-first, thirtieth, and ninetieth pages. This number will drop to 10 by jumping between 20 pages. Your users will be able to navigate through your archive using pagination.

No matter if it's a category or blog page, people don't like to scroll through endless lists of posts. Imagine your blog has 1000 articles. If you list ten articles on each archive page, that will make you 100 archive pages.

You could link these pages by adding an Older (Previous) and a Nexter (Next) posts links. That would require you to click 99 times to reach the last page. It doesn't have to be that difficult!
