Solution

Paginated pages should NOT all canonicalize to page 1. Each page should have a self-referencing canonical. Use rel=‘next’ and rel=‘prev’ links to indicate pagination sequence (though Google no longer uses these for indexing, they help users). Consider view-all pages or infinite scroll as alternatives. Ensure each paginated page has unique, valuable content.
