SEO friendly data tables

Data tables based on server-side processing will index the first page only. Search engines do not follow interactive pagination buttons. Additional links are required to index additional pages. With WP Data Access you can index all your pages, even for large tables that require server-side processing.

Add the following option to the advanced settings section of your data table to enable SEO friendly links to your data table:

{
    "wpda_seo_links": {
        "link_previous": "<<< Previous page",
        "link_next": "Next page >>>"
    }
}

Please replace the link labels to fit your needs. You can also add HTML to display icons or images.

Add your data table page to your website menu and add /pg/1/ at the end of the url (check the url of this page). The pg argument leads the user to the first page of your data table and adds a link to page two below your data table. Clicking the link redirects the user to the next page and so on. This allows search engines to follow all your data table pages and index your whole table content over time.

Notes #

Do not hide SEO links! This can have a negative impact on your ranking.
SEO links can coexist with pagination buttons.
Pressing a SEO link results in a page refresh. Pressing a pagination button does not refresh the page.
If you get a 404 error when you add /pg/1/ to your URL: go to settings > permalinks and press the Save Changes button.
Add “display”: “inline” to the wpda_seo_links option to completely replace the pagination buttons with the SEO links.
