On-Page Pagination kya hai?

On-Page Pagination ka matlab hota hai:
Jab ek lamba content ya list (jaise blog posts, products, comments) ko alag-alag pages me divide kiya jata hai — ek page par sab kuch na dikhakar thoda-thoda content multiple pages me show karna.

Simple Example:

Maan lijiye aapki website me 100 blog articles hain. To aap inko is tareeke se divide karte ho:

Page 1: Article 1–10
Page 2: Article 11–20
Page 3: Article 21–30
... and so on.

Yahi hai pagination!

Pagination URLs kaise hote hain?

bash
example.com/blog?page=1  
example.com/blog?page=2  
example.com/blog?page=3

Ya kabhi kabhi:

bash
example.com/blog/page/2  
example.com/blog/page/3

Agar aap chahein to main aapko pagination ka HTML code example ya SEO-friendly pagination

setup bhi samjha sakta hoon

1. Types of Pagination

🔹 a) Numbered Pagination

html
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Next »

➡ User kisi bhi page number par click karke ja sakta hai.

b) "Load More" Button

➡ Button click karne par next content same page par load hota hai (JavaScript ke through).

c) Infinite Scroll

➡ Jaise-jaise user niche scroll karta hai, new content auto-load hota hai (Facebook, Instagram style).

2. URL Structure Examples

Pagination Type	URL Example
Query string	`/blog?page=2`
Clean URL	`/blog/page/2`
Load more/infinite scroll	`/blog` (but content JS se load hota hai)

3. SEO Best Practices (Advanced)

rel="next" & rel="prev"

Search engines ko batata hai ki yeh pages ek series ka part hain.

html
<link rel="next" href="https://example.com/page/2">
<link rel="prev" href="https://example.com/page/1">

Canonical Tag (Only on First Page)

Sabhi paginated pages ka canonical tag first page ko point kare:

html
<link rel="canonical" href="https://example.com/page/1">

🚫 Lekin agar har page ka content unique hai, toh canonical har page ka apna hona chahiye.

Avoid Duplicate Title/Meta Description

Har page ka title/description alag raho:

Page 1 Title: Blog - Latest Posts
Page 2 Title: Blog - Page 2 of Latest Posts

4. Common SEO Issues with Pagination

Issue	Cause
Duplicate content	Sabhi pages same canonical tag se
Low crawl priority	Paginated pages crawl nahi hote
Content orphaning	Internal linking sahi nahi hoti
Noindex mistakenly	Robots.txt ya meta robots me galti se `noindex` laga hota hai

5. Screaming Frog me Pagination kaise detect hota hai?

Screaming Frog crawl karta hai:

rel="next"/"prev"
Pagination URLs (?page=2, /page/3)
Internal link flow

Aap Filters > Pagination use karke pagination structure analyze kar sakte ho.

6. Bonus: Pagination vs Load More vs Infinite Scroll (SEO Point of View)

Feature	SEO Friendly	User Friendly
Pagination	High	Moderate
Load More	Medium	Good
Infinite Scroll	Low (agar JS se load ho)	Great

Google bots JavaScript load kar sakte hain, lekin pagination abhi bhi safest hai SEO ke liye.

Ek Final Line Mein Summary:

On-Page Pagination ek SEO-friendly technique hai jisse aap apne lamba content ko multiple pages me baantte ho — jisse user ko browsing easy ho jaata hai aur Google bots content ko properly crawl kar sakte hain.

“Google may treat paginated pages as individual URLs but encourages proper internal linking and use of rel="next" and rel="prev".”
