I'm looking at how best to display content for my website. I plan to have a large number of pages of products, which will contain a large amount of information (ideally, the amount of information on each page will expand over time, as reviews are collected etc).

I've discounted separate pages for different bits of product information (eg photos, reviews etc) and would like to keep everything on-page. So I'm considering two options:


Long pages of content (eg, Amazon's product pages)
Pages using accordion tabs (eg, photos, reviews, descriptions etc displayed under separate tabs, but all on the same page)


I want to base my decision on best experience and where possible, evidence that one is more suitable for e-commerce than the other. That is, in terms of user experience and goal conversion performance.

At the moment, I'm inclined towards the long product page because i) Amazon's experience of it seems to work well for them and ii) there are potentially fewer rendering issues across different devices and platforms.

My question is, what evidence or data is available to help guide my decision and to rule out one over the other?

SEO

For SEO, which actually might be quite important for online shopping, I would go for the long page. Hidden content is not referenced by search engines. Thus, some data might not be indexed.

The safe solution would be a long page.

Accesibility

Content has to be accessible. Tabs are not the solution.
