    Hello,
    When I try to break “comments into pages”, I get a warning from yoast plugin which says this action is not recommended 999 times out of 1000.
    I am curious to know, should we supposed to get this warning since all the paginated comment URLs have their own canonical meta which point to the original article?
    Paginating comments helps particular articles loaded with comments to significantly reduce its DOM elements and reduce load time.
    Kindly enlighten me regarding this issue, can I ignore yoast warning for this specific action.

    Regards

    When using paginating comments, this leads to the content being duplicated across the article URL, and the article URL + /comment-page-1/, /comment-page-2/ etc. So, Yoast SEO shows the notification to disable this.

    However, if you are sure that you have the correct canonical in placed and you want to use it on your site, you can go with this.

    Thank you Md, for your kind response,

    yes I have checked the page sources of the paginated comments and I could see identical canonical URLs of the original article.

    I thought this was being created by yoast, because in default WordPress canonical is not set correctly.

    I am not sure, may be in the recent updates WordPress might have corrected this issue?

    Would it be possible to remove the warning message in the next Yoast update, for comment pagination.

    Thank you for your time.

    While we are unable to confirm whether WordPress recently introduced the canonical meta on the paginated comments archives pages, we do know that Yoast SEO adds canonical URL in many places where it is necessary. However, you can verify this by deactivating Yoast SEO plugin to check whether the canonical exists on the paginated comments archives pages.

    On the other hand, while we are unable to confirm whether this is something that our development and SEO team would like to remove that in a future Yoast SEO version, we’d welcome you to submit your thoughts with more details on why we should consider removing it on here and our development team will decide.
