Frequently asked questions

Does Google still use rel="next" and rel="prev"?

No. Google stopped using them in 2019. It discovers pages through normal <a href> links, so those links matter most.

Should page 2 canonicalise to page 1?

No. Each paginated page should have a self-referencing canonical. Pointing them to page 1 can stop Google from finding the items listed on deeper pages.

Should I noindex paginated pages?

Usually not. Over time Google may stop following links on noindexed pages, so products or posts linked only from deep pages can be missed.
