On-Page SEO

Pagination

Quick Definition

Pagination breaks long content lists across multiple pages (e.g., page 1, page 2, page 3 of a blog category).

In context

Modern best practice: each paginated page self-canonicalizes, and rel='next'/'prev' attributes are no longer required by Google (deprecated in 2019). Use noindex on deep pagination pages if they offer little unique value.
