Evidence to review

  • Crawl of the full sequence, direct-request checks and item-coverage comparison with the database.

How to implement

  1. Provide crawlable next-page paths or equivalent discoverable pagination.
  2. Do not canonicalise all genuinely distinct pages to page one.
  3. Ensure refresh and direct entry return the correct slice.
  4. Test final-page, empty and out-of-range cases without creating infinite indexable sequences.
