Should you Canonicalize pagination?

Avoid: If you want important paginated pages indexed, avoid canonicalizing paginated pages so that paginated pages rel=canonical link tags point to the first page in the paginated series.

Is pagination good for SEO?

Correct. Pagination causes internal link equity and other ranking signals, such as backlinks and social shares, to be split across pages. But can be minimized by using pagination only in cases where a single-page content approach would cause poor user experience (for example, ecommerce category pages).

How would you minimize duplicate content risk on your site with pagination?

By making the relations between a series of pages clear to search engines using the pagination attributes, you give search engines context and prevent duplicate content.

How do you implement pagination?

For example, you can implement pagination using links to new pages on your ecommerce site, or using JavaScript to update the current page. Load more and infinite scroll are generally implemented using JavaScript.
