How to prevent search engines from indexing catalog pages except for the first one in robots, so that 2,3,4, etc. are not indexed. pages?
Here is the catalog https://tinyurl.com/yax4nj45
Here is the second page https://tinyurl.com/yd4wr5sk
What do you need and how to register?
Goal: so that in the search yasha does not give out listing pages, but only specific products and the first page with SEO text.
But at the same time, the goods themselves, of course, should be left for indexing.

Answer 1

You need to write a line
. But I do not recommend doing this, because robots will stop visiting these pages ... they will not go from these pages to scan products and other links.
You just need to set up pagination correctly, and let the robots walk everywhere.
Sometimes indicate the canonical address for all pages on the first
This is 100 times better than a ban in the robots.txt file, but Google recommends writing the canonical address correctly on each pagination page and adding rel NEXT and PREV meta tags to link pages to the same topic and to indicate the next and previous page.
At the same time, I recommend removing SEO text from all pages, except for the first one (configurable programmatically in the code). Well, to the Title meta tag I also add the inscription "page 2", "page 3", etc., then it's generally ideal and you don't need to close it.
