The rel="next" and rel="prev" attributes are used in pagination to indicate the relationship between multiple pages of a series. These attributes help search engines understand the sequence of pages and improve the overall user experience.

The rel="next" attribute indicates the next page in the series, while the rel="prev" attribute indicates the previous page. This allows search engines to navigate through the pages and present them in the correct order to users.

On the other hand, the rel="canonical" attribute is used to indicate the preferred version of a web page when there are multiple versions available (such as different URLs pointing to the same content). It helps prevent duplicate content issues and consolidates the ranking signals of different versions of a page into a single canonical URL.

In summary, rel="next" and rel="prev" are used for pagination purposes, while rel="canonical" is used to specify the preferred version of a page.
