Hi, I recently built a Glossary of terms. I used Finsweet attributes Library for filtering and loading the CMS. When I run the site through Screaming Frog, I see that the pagination of the glossary is being canonicalized, and it indicates that this is a big error I should eliminate.
I have been looking all around how to fix this, but I can not seem to find a solution.
Anyone here knows how to do that?
I would really appreciate the help!
Thanks
Ignore Screaming Frog on this- your site is setup perfectly.
You do NOT want Google indexing those paginated list URLs especially because you are using FS Load. You want only that main /glossary page indexed.
If you really want to maximize your SEO, build out the Collection pages [ e.g. ] even more… video, related links, deeper content article as rich text… even a user commenting system perhaps.
Hi Michael,
Thank you very much for the input and the link to that article. I was not sure if it was a problem. Inside Google Search Console it shows like this:
But on the other hand page 8 (the last one) shows indexed, but when I looked further it seems the canonical is the main glossary page (no pagination), so I guess that is good,
I also notice that page 8 is the only paginated page it indexed. So that is good
Yes, that confuses people a lot, but it’s the behavior you want.
Webflow is including a canonical ( good ) and specifically identifying the main page that should be indexed ( good ).
Since my reply, Webflow has changed strategy here and the pagination querystrings are now emitted as part of the canonical. To my knowledge, that’s still the case.
Either approach works, I actually preferred the earlier no-querystrings in the canonical approach, but either way SEO tools complain. Either way, Webflow’s approach works fine.
