Pagination points to itself

Error severity, in the Pagination tab

Why it matters

A rel=next or rel=prev that targets the same URL creates a loop and tells crawlers nothing about the series.

How to fix it

Point rel=next and rel=prev at the neighbouring pages in the series, and omit them on the first and last page.

How Crawlune finds it

Crawlune flags Pagination points to itself automatically on every crawl and lists the affected URLs under the Pagination tab, where you can filter, inspect each page and export the list to CSV. The free version crawls up to 550 URLs with every check enabled.
