How to make a 301 redirect for pagination?

Question

htaccess

Tell me how to make a 301 redirect from pagination pages like .../page/2 to the first one for arbitrary categories?

Answer 1

In view of the fact that the page can be a get request, etc., it would not be sour to get the entire url, you can have a few for clarity.

Answer 2

Maybe you need to add "canonical", instead of a redirect, and that's all? By the way, the canonical can be added both by code and through the Yoast SEO plugin.
