# Use canonicals on paginated pages
Incorrect pagination canonicalization can prevent pages 2, 3, etc. from being indexed, removing valuable content from search results and breaking user journeys from search queries that match content on later pages.
## Quick Reference
- Each paginated page (/page/2, /page/3) should self-canonicalize to its own URL
- Do NOT canonicalize all paginated pages to page 1 — this is a common mistake
- Google dropped support for rel=prev/next in 2019 — don't rely on it
- Use consistent URL patterns for pagination (?page=2 or /page/2, never both)
- Infinite scroll and load-more UIs still need crawlable paginated URLs or links
