Quick comparison

Main page or category page: which one should you open first?

Start with the main page if you are still exploring. Open a category page when you already know the item type.

The best page is the one that matches how close you already are to making a choice.

The main page has a place

Use it when you still want to look around and have not picked an item type yet.

Category pages help once the choice becomes clearer

At that point, shoes or jackets is easier than opening a mixed page again.

Why this matters for browsing

It is easier to keep going when the page matches the item type you already have in mind.
