# How do you handle pagination on large sites?

> Make pagination discoverable through crawlable links.

For example:

`<a href="/products?page=2">Next</a>
`
Don't depend entirely on an infinite scroll interaction if you need deeper content discovered.

Google's developer guidance notes that Google can have difficulty scrolling through infinite-scroll interfaces and recommends providing paginated versions when content needs to be crawled.
