      Hi Guys,

      Just wondering can anyone recommend any tools or good ways to check if rel=“next” and rel=“prev” attributes have been implemented properly across a large ecommerce based site?

      Cheers.

      rel=“next” and rel=“prev”

        Hi Jay,

        You happen to know ScreamingFrog already, it can help you in crawling the whole site and then checking if there are already rel prev or rel next items on the pages in order to make sure that you're already making sure you don't create duplicates.

          Personally I'd use Screaming Frog for this. The URLs for prev/next elements can be found in the "Directives" tab and can be exported to excel for easy comparison.

          Regards,

          ... ah, too slow and essentially same answer 😉
