Add pagination to Tags and Category Pages about digitalgov.gov HOT 5 CLOSED

I removed this because it was added significant build time, and I wasn't sure that pagination was helping. I guess the question is: what problem does pagination solve here?

I don't think it makes the information easier to navigate, and I don't think it has a performance benefit. But I'm happy to hear the case for it!

Well, ideally, pages should not scroll "forever" but my main concern is that we now have a lot of broken links in our Search results.

I searched for podcast
https://find.digitalgov.gov/search?affiliate=digitalgov&query=podcast

Four of the 6 search result pages have links that go to Category and Sitemap pages, but they all show 404s now. Examples:
https://www.digitalgov.gov/category/content/page/21/
https://www.digitalgov.gov/sitemap/page/49/

Would it be quicker, easier to remove Category and Sitemap from Search results?
They'll still need pagination eventually, but can be done later and would reduce Search result 404s

I honestly don't know the right way on this. I'll need to see if there's any existing research, or any reason that pagination is better than no pagination.

That's definitely a problem

Definitely, I think. I don't feel like there's any good reason to get either of these in search results. Similarly Tag pages. I don't think you'd want to get search results for mobile that are, like, tag/mobile/page/1/, tag/mobile/page/2/, tag/mobile/page/3/, tag/mobile/page/4/, ad infinitum.

Cool --
and tags (thankfully) were never in the Search results (we only accessed them via the links at the bottom of each post)... just Categories and Sitemap (I always thought those 2 should not be included in search results)
