The user can scroll through the list of posts using the mouse or keyboard (pressing enter or clicking on a title will take the user to the selected post.) Data for posts are loaded asychronously once the page is loaded, and so it will not affect the page loading speed. Only one request per page load is ever sent to the server, which queries for cached post information, and therefore the plugin is performant. ## Screenshots * [[ * This is a screenshot of the plugin in action on an example site. * [[ * This is a screenshot of typical settings for the plugin. ## Installation 1.
