Cursor pagination
Also called: Keyset pagination
Fetching the next items after a given item instead of skipping a count of items.
Definition
Offset paging ('skip 20') shows duplicates or skips items when data changes between pages. Cursor paging ('after item 4821') avoids that, which is why feeds use it.
In practice
A new product added while you browse doesn't push the last item of page 1 onto page 2 again.
