Incorrect pagination
Pages incorrectly ordered or divided, disrupting navigation.
[ FAQ1 ]
What is incorrect pagination?
Incorrect pagination happens when content that should be sequentially divided across pages doesn't display properly. Common symptoms include repeated or skipped items, incorrect item counts per page, or navigation buttons that behave unpredictably. This issue typically results from errors in pagination logic, such as miscalculating offsets, incorrect use of limits, or mishandling page indexing. Incorrect pagination affects both frontend experiences and backend data retrieval, potentially resulting in API responses that confuse clients or frontend displays that frustrate users.

How to fix pagination issues
To fix pagination issues, carefully review and debug pagination logic, ensuring proper calculation of offsets and limits. In API-driven pagination, explicitly define clear and consistent rules for handling page numbers, item counts, and offsets. Use reliable formulas—for example,
offset = (page - 1) * limit
—to correctly calculate the starting point for data retrieval. In frontend pagination, synchronize state accurately with backend responses to ensure UI elements (like page counters and navigation buttons) correctly reflect available pages. Conduct thorough testing, particularly at edge cases (e.g., last page, empty pages, or page transitions), to validate correct behavior across your entire pagination implementation.diff block
