Should I just load all products on one category page?

'Q: Instead of pagination, can I put all 800 products on one page to keep them indexed?'

Short answer: No — a single 800-product page is a page-speed and crawl disaster; paginate and keep the pages crawlable instead.

The longer version: the instinct is right (you want all products discoverable) but the method backfires. 800 products on one URL means huge HTML, slow load, terrible Core Web Vitals, and Google may not even render the full page — it can truncate long documents. You think everything's indexable; half of it isn't being read.

Paginate at a sensible size (say 24-48 per page), self-canonical each page, and make sure every product is reachable within a few clicks. That keeps pages fast and the catalog fully crawlable.

The follow-up: if you're worried about deep products getting few internal links, that's a real concern — solve it with curated 'best of' and related-product links, not by cramming everything onto one URL.

Rule of thumb: discoverability comes from crawlable pagination and internal links, not from one giant page.
