Abstract
A useful result in critical point theory is that the LjusternikSchnirelmann category of the space of based loops on a compact simply connected manifold $M$ is infinite (because the cup length of $M$ is infinite). However, the space of free loops on $M$ may have trivial products. This note shows that, nevertheless, the space of the free loops also has infinite category.
