This article describes in detail how infinite scrolling extension works, what key elements in HTML structure it searches for and how it can be configured.

Full Page Cache (FPC) solutions allows store owners to increase site performance. Magento during each page load executes a lot of costly operations: a lot of SQL queries, tons of file reads, XML transformations and more. FPC solutions save fully rendered page in cache and upon subsequent requests avoid most of those costly operations and instead serve the page from cache (which is a lot faster).

All MANAdev Layered Navigation extensions work with FPC solution which comes with Magento Enterprise Edition (no configuration required) and with Lesti FPC (additional configuration required, see below). There may be more compatible FPC solutions, but these were not explicitly tested to the moment of writing.

For MANAdev layered navigation extensions to work with Lesti FPC (A internal Magento Full Page Cache extension by Gordon Lesti) uri params should be added.
