Shorter Query Param on pagination (CMS Load)

[alanpodemski]

Hey guys,

My client really wants to have cleaner links for pagination pages for CMS Load Attribute.

Instead of:
website.com/jobs?73259a44_page=2

He wants:
website.com/jobs?page=2

I believe the script was set up to know which collection is being paginated so it needs the ID but maybe there’s a workaround?

His concerns:

“The reason why I’m concerned about the latest query params is, Google will crawl EVERY single unique URL that it comes across throughout this section. When you factor in every subset of results (every industry, every function, for every page of results), it will result in many additional URLs.”

Thanks!
Alan

hey @alanpodemski! I am afraid there is no workaround, as you say, the query param serves as an identifier for the collection that is being paginated.

You might write your own script to simplify the string but this might break the solution.
