Pagination
Splitting large content lists across multiple pages, requiring careful crawl and linking strategy.
Definition
Pagination divides long lists (e.g., category archives) into multiple pages. While helpful for UX, it introduces depth and potential duplication. Effective pagination ensures important items are linked from shallow depths, provides clear paths for crawlers, and avoids thin or empty pages. Signals like canonicalization and strategic internal links help concentrate equity on key pages.
