Show all posts: category filter vs. separate category archive pages

[ad_1]

Have a look at this simple example. CPT \`recipe\` with categories \`sweets\`, \`veggie\`, \`meat\`, \`fish\`

I wonder about the different ways to present this:

1) [domain.com/recipe])

List all recipes and include a category ajax filter. The visitor can filter and display only veggie recipies.

When a new category is added, usually no manual work is needed. The filter just shows the newly added category.

​

2) [domain.com/recipe]) shows all recipes without filter but include archive pages for the categories (based on an archive template)

[domain.com/recipe] [domain.com/recipe] …

You can linke directly to the category pages e.g. in the menu or sidebar. It can be relevant for SEO. It can be that manual work is necessary when a new category is added.

​

3) combination of both attempts

will the user be confused and should this be avoided?

​

I am trying to see about some more pros and cons. Are those “fancy ajax filters” actually used in real life or do people actually don’t care much about it.

What’s your take on that?
