I maintain a magazine-like website. It is a one page site with no AJAX involved, ie. the whole content is loaded every time a user enters the site. Dynamic content loading is not an option for now.

I would like to utilize pushState to perform URL and page title changes each time a user navigates from one magazine page to another, so that search engines index each page of the magazine as a different webpage (with its own URL).

Would it be a problem for SEO to fully load the whole magazine no matter what page of it the user enters by? If so, could I prevent it by presenting the visible content somehow to tell search engines that the current magazine page is the relevant content?

I assume that rel="canonical" (or next / prev) will not help me, since it would reduce search results to an unique URL.
