SEO Pagination helps present paginated CS-Cart catalog pages more cleanly: it shows a convenient range of page numbers, adds the page number to H1 and Title where it matters for SEO, and prevents the category description from being repeated on the second and subsequent pages.
The add-on is useful for stores with large categories, filtered product lists, product feature pages, and content pages where customers move to page two, three, and beyond. It helps make those pages clearer for visitors and search engines: headings can include the page number, while the category description can be hidden on pagination pages.
After installation, the add-on replaces the storefront pagination template and builds a compact range of page numbers around the current page. Starting from page two, it can add a “Page N” suffix to H1 and Title in the selected position relative to the base heading. For categories, the add-on can also hide the category description on pagination pages so long SEO text is not repeated on every product-list page.
Have questions about the add-on?
The add-on changes storefront pagination behavior in CS-Cart and helps present pagination pages for customers and search engines. It controls the range of displayed page numbers, adds the current page number to H1 and Title, and can hide the category description on pagination pages.
The settings are located in the admin panel: Add-ons → Manage add-ons → SEO Pagination.
Open the add-on card to configure the general settings:
Number of displayed items in the center on the left and right side — how many page numbers to show next to the current page. Default value: 2. For example, when a customer is in the middle of a long pagination range, the add-on shows the current page and the configured number of neighboring pages on both sides.
Hide side buttons when at the beginning or end of pagination — hides the previous button on the first page and the next button on the last page. If the option is disabled, the buttons remain visible but can be inactive.
Add page number to H1 — defines whether the page label is added to the H1 heading:
No — H1 stays unchanged.
Right — format “Title - Page N”.
Left — format “Page N - Title”.
Add page number to Title — the same setting for the HTML page Title:
No — Title stays unchanged.
Right — format “Title - Page N”.
Left — format “Page N - Title”.
Hide category descriptions for pagination pages — when enabled, the category description is shown on the first category page and hidden on pages with the page parameter. This helps avoid repeating the same SEO text across all product-list pages.
The add-on works with standard storefront pagination and replaces its template in supported themes. It also processes category pages, filtered category pages, product feature variant pages, and static pages.
For regular page switches and AJAX navigation, the add-on updates headings according to the selected settings. The page number label is added only from page two onward.
Open a storefront category that has enough products for several pages.
Go to the second pagination page.
Check the pagination block: the page range around the current page should follow the configured number of items.
If adding the page number to H1 is enabled, check the category heading. It should include the “Page N” label on the right or on the left, depending on the selected option.
If adding the page number to Title is enabled, check the browser tab title or the page HTML source.
If hiding the category description is enabled, make sure the description is visible on the first category page and hidden on the second and following pages.
Check AJAX page switches if the storefront uses AJAX navigation: headings should update without a full page reload.
The add-on does not generate separate SEO texts for each pagination page. It works with the page number, headings, and category description display.
If a category or page already has a custom Title, the add-on uses it as the base title and adds the page label in the selected position.
