How To Easily Paginate Comments In WordPress?

There are a few disadvantages of showing large number of comments on one page. If your website gets a lot of comments then you must have noticed that the comments load slower than other content you have on that webpage and a long list of comments also make the navigation difficult for visitors who are willing to further the discussing by posting more comments. You can make long discussion easy by paginating the comments in multiple pages.

WordPress already provides you the option for breaking comments into pages, you just need to enable it and add the number of pages you like breaking the comments into.
