Removing the number of first page in Yii2 Pagination from the URL – SEO

For SEO purposes I need to remove the first page number from the URL. i.e I have the following:

example.com/pages/view/1 and example.com/pages/view the two URLs points to the same contents of the view action. I want to make the pagination free from 1 in the URL. i.e first Page link and Page Number 1 should be linked to pages/view.

I tried to deal with the $pagination object like the following:

$pages = new Pagination(['totalCount' => $books['booksCount'], 'pageParam' => 'start', 'defaultPageSize' => 10,]);
      $pagingLinks = $pages->getLinks();
      $pagingLinks['first'] = '/';
      $pages->links = $pagingLinks;

However, the last line causing error:

Setting read-only property: yiidataPagination::links

So I have a problem to modify the links property. Is there any other solution to get this task done?!

    The above answer may works for direct use of Pagination but remain an issue if it was used from another widget such as ListView.

    I found the solution from a comment on an issue report on Yii2 repository on github

    The solution is just define proper route in config/web.php. Suppose here we have a controller called Suras and we use the ListView widget on its action's view called view. So placing rule array with defaults has value 'page' => 1 will prevent adding the page parameter to the link's URL of the first page. Also notice the first rule 'view/<id:d+>/1' => 'Error404', is placed in-order to prevent any access to the first page using page=1 parameter, for example, trying to access mysite.com/view/20/1 will invoke 404 error, because there is no controller called Error404. 

    'urlManager' => [
            'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
            'showScriptName' => false,
            'rules' => [                
                'view/<id:d+>/1' => 'Error404',
                ['pattern' => 'view/<id:d+>/<page:d+>', 'route' => 'suras/view', 'defaults' => ['page' => 1]],
                'view/<id:d+>/<page:d+>' => 'suras/view',
                'view/<id:d+>' => 'suras/view',
            ],
        ],


],

    According to docs you should set yiidataPagination::forcePageParam to false by passing it in Pagination constructor

    $pages = new Pagination([
    'totalCount' => $books['booksCount'], 
    'pageParam' => 'start', 
    'defaultPageSize' => 10,
    'forcePageParam' => false,
]);
