hreflang generator FAQ
International targeting, plainly stated.
What is hreflang used for?
Hreflang links connect translated or region-specific versions of the same page. Search engines use the set to choose the most appropriate URL for a visitor's language and location.
Should every page include itself?
Yes. Each localized page should include a self-referencing hreflang link along with the other alternates, and every version should publish the same complete set.
What does x-default mean?
x-default identifies the fallback URL for visitors who do not match a listed language or region. It often points to a language selector or the site's primary version.
Does the checker crawl every alternate URL?
No. It makes one bounded request to the page you submit and analyzes the hreflang and canonical links returned in that HTML.
