Guide

How to check hreflang without a crawl

Hreflang tells search engines which URL is for which language or region. This tool reads the tags on one page - it does not fetch every locale to confirm return links.

Include x-default as a fallback. Avoid two hrefs for the same language code on one page.

Canonical and hreflang should agree. A locale URL that canonicalises to another language will fight itself.

Questions

Hreflang FAQ

What is hreflang?

A signal that tells search engines which URL is for which language or region, so the right locale ranks in the right country.

Do I need x-default?

Recommended. It is the fallback when no language matches the user - often your primary or chooser URL.

Does this check return links on the other locales?

No - it only reads the page you paste. After you fix tags, confirm the canonical on each locale.
