Pagination Loop
What This Means
URLs that have rel=”next” and rel=”next” attributes that loop back to a previously encountered URL. This can mean that the expressed pagination series are simply ignored by the search engines.
What Triggers This Issue
This issue is triggered when URLs with rel=”next” and rel=”next” attributes loop back to a previously encountered URL. For example:
https://www.getasky.com/ Has the tag:
<link rel="next" href="https://www.getasky.com/page2/"> And the URL: https://www.getasky.com/page2/ Has the tags:
<link rel="prev" href="https://www.getasky.com/page1/">
<link rel="next" href="https://www.getasky.com/page3/"> However: https://www.getasky.com/page3/ Has the tag:
<link rel="prev" href="https://www.getasky.com/page1/"> When it should actually have the tag:
<link rel="prev" href="https://www.getasky.com/page2/">How To Fix
Ensure paginated URLs contained within rel=”next” or rel=”next” attributes and within <a> tags are to the correct pages in the sequence.
