QUICK ANSWER
Single-column mobile listings and oversized cards dramatically increase scrolling. How to size product cards so shoppers see and compare more.
FROM OUR ENGINEERING WORKREAL CASE
A mobile category page showed one oversized product per row, forcing a lot of scrolling. Moving to two per row exposed far more of the range in the same space.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
✓Two products per row often shows about twice as many products per screen.
✓Oversized images and option selectors lengthen category pages.
✓Show just enough to decide: image, name, price, rating, key attribute.
AT A GLANCE
Products visible per mobile screen (illustrative)
1 per row, large cards~1–2
1 per row, compact~2–3
2 per row~4–6
Why density matters
How many products shoppers see before scrolling affects discovery and comparison. On mobile, single-column grids can make browsing feel slow.
