Hreflang Checker

hreflang tells search engines how language and regional versions of a page are related. Google uses the markup to show users the version in their language and avoid duplicate pages in the index.

In the <head> via <link rel="alternate" hreflang="xx" href="..."> or in the sitemap. Either method is fine. Each version must link to itself and all the other versions.

x-default specifies the default version for users whose language doesn’t match any of the available languages. It’s usually the international or English version.

Yes. If page A links to B, B should link back to A. Missing reciprocal links are a common issue. Google may not process the markup correctly.

Enter a page URL in Hreflang Checker. The tool will extract all hreflang tags, check that they’re valid and link to each other, and show a list of errors and warnings with recommendations.
