What Is Hreflang?

Hreflang tags tell search engines about language or regional versions of a page, such as English for India (en-IN) and Hindi (hi), so each user gets the right version. This tool lists a page's hreflang tags.

When to Use It

  • On multilingual or multi-regional websites.
  • When the wrong language version ranks in a country.

How to Use It

  1. Enter the page URL.
  2. Review the language codes and target URLs.

Understanding the Result

Each version should link to all the others and to itself, and every link must be returned by the other pages. Add x-default for a fallback page.

Limitations

Hreflang is only needed for sites with more than one language or region version. Only link tags in the HTML are read, not hreflang in sitemaps or HTTP headers.

Frequently Asked Questions

A <link rel="alternate" hreflang="..."> tag that tells search engines "this page has an equivalent version in this other language/region", helping them show the right version to the right searcher.

Google's own guidelines recommend that a page with hreflang tags include one pointing to itself, not just to its alternate versions - omitting it is a common implementation mistake.

It specifies a fallback page to show visitors whose language/region doesn't match any of your other hreflang variants - commonly a language selector page or your default/international version.
