Hreflang Checker

Check if your website correctly implements hreflang tags for multilingual SEO, ensuring search engines serve the right language to each region.

What is Hreflang Checker?

Hreflang tags tell search engines which language and regional version of a page to show users. They are essential for multilingual or multi-region websites to avoid duplicate content issues and ensure the correct audience sees the right version of your content.

How to Fix It

Add hreflang annotations inside the HTML <head>, HTTP headers, or your XML sitemap. Each page should reference all its language variants, including itself, using proper language-region codes like en, en-US, or fr.

Best Practices

  • Always include a self-referencing hreflang tag.
  • Use correct ISO language and region codes (e.g., en, en-US, fr-FR).
  • Ensure all language versions reference each other (bidirectional linking).
  • Avoid mixing canonical tags incorrectly with hreflang.
  • Use x-default for fallback pages when no language match is found.
