Pagination: Multiple Pagination URLs

There are multiple rel=”next” and rel=”next” attributes on the page (when there shouldn’t be more than a single rel=”next” or rel=”next” attribute).

This may mean that they are ignored by the search engines.

How to Analyse in the SEO Spider

What Triggers This Issue

This issue is triggered when a page contains multiple rel=”next” and rel=”next” attributes.

For example:

https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/

Has the tags:

<link rel="next" href="https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/page2/">

<link rel="next" href="https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/page3/">

How To Fix

Ensure there is only single rel=”next” or rel=”prev” attribute on a page and URLs are to canonical, indexable pages – so they can be crawled and indexed.
