What is Pagination in SEO?

Pagination occurs when a website has many contents that span at 2-3 pages, like e-commerce which has lots of products list. This will bring some potential issues, such as GG bots have limitation that can't crawl the sites having paginated pages --> Some of your content won't dis play on GG search engine
 
Pagination, the practice of segmenting links to content on multiple pages, affects two critical elements of search engine accessibility.

Crawl Depth: Best practices demand that the search engine spiders reach content-rich pages in as few "clicks" as possible (turns out, users like this, too). This also impacts calculations like Google's PageRank (or Bing's StaticRank), which determine the raw popularity of a URL and are an element of the overall algorithmic ranking system.
Duplicate Content: Search engines take duplication very seriously and attempt to show only a single URL that contains any given piece of content. When pagination is implemented improperly, it can cause duplicate content problems, both for individual articles and the landing pages that allow browsing access to them.
 
Pagination is a way of organizing or numbering a lot of data within a webpage to make it more manageable and user friendly. The purpose of doing this is to get the search engines to crawl these pages and to distribute page rank from highly crawled pages of your site to these deeper pages of your site.
