Django template large data pagination link issue

Question

I am using the django paginator in my template. Its working ok with less data, but not working good when there's large numbers of pages.

Pagination links code is given bellow:

<div class="paginationWrapper mt-3">
        {% if match_list.paginator.num_pages > 1 %}
        <ul class="pagination">
            {% if match_list.has_previous %}
            <li>
                <a href="?p={{ match_list.previous_page_number }}
                    {% if request.GET.search %}&search={{ request.GET.search }}
                    {% endif %}" class="page-link"><i class="fas fa-angle-double-left"></i></a>
            </li>
            {% endif %}
            {% for j in match_list.paginator.page_range %}
            {% if match_list.number == j %}
            <li class="active"><a class="page-link" href="#">{{ j }}</a></li>
            {% else %}
            <li><a href="?p={{ j }}{% if request.GET.search %}&search={{ request.GET.search }}
                    {% endif %}" class="page-link">{{ j }}</a></li>

            {% endif %}
            {% endfor %}

            {% if match_list.has_next %}
            <li>
                <a href="?p={{ match_list.next_page_number }}  
                {% if request.GET.search %}&search={{ request.GET.search }}{% endif %}            
                    " class="page-link"><i class="fas fa-angle-double-right"></i></a>
            </li>
            {% endif %}
        </ul>

try this

{% load core %}   // core here is template tag
{% if match_list.paginator.num_pages > 1 %}
        <ul class="pagination justify-content-center">
            {% if match_list.has_previous %}
                <li class="page-item">
                    <a class="page-link" href="?{% param_replace page=1 %}">
                        First
                    </a>
                </li>
            {% else %}
                <li class="page-item disabled">
                    <a class="page-link" href="#">
                        First
                    </a>

            {% endif %}
            {% if match_list.has_previous %}
                <li class="page-item">
                    <a class="page-link" href="?{% param_replace page=match_list.previous_page_number %}">

                    <li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="?{% param_replace page=i %}">{{ i }}</a></li>
                {% endif %}

                        &raquo;
                    </a>
                </li>
            {% endif %}
            {% if match_list.paginator.num_pages != match_list.number %}
                <li class="page-item">
                    <a class="page-link" href="?{% param_replace page=match_list.paginator.num_pages %}">

            {% endif %}
        </ul>
{% endif %}

custom template tag

@register.simple_tag(takes_context=True)
def param_replace(context, **kwargs):
    """
  
    """
    d = context['request'].GET.copy()
    for k, v in kwargs.items():
        d[k] = v
    for k in [k for k, v in d.items() if not v]:
        del d[k]
    return d.urlencode()

output
