Questions

Hreflang Checker FAQ

What does the Hreflang Checker analyze?

It checks language and region codes, duplicate and conflicting values, x-default, absolute HTTPS URLs, canonical alignment, self-reference, and reciprocity limitations.

Does every website need hreflang?

No. Hreflang is useful for equivalent pages intended for different languages or regions.

Can this checker confirm reciprocal links?

No. This version analyzes one pasted page. Every alternate page must be checked for the same complete cluster.

Does SiteTend store pasted HTML?

No. Analysis runs in your browser, and pasted HTML is excluded from analytics.

Apply the result

From finding to verified fix

Interpret the finding

Each language-region alternate should be valid, reciprocal, and aligned with a canonical page in the same language set.

Common causes to inspect

  • Missing return links
  • Invalid language or region codes
  • Alternates pointing through redirects or to noncanonical pages

Practical next steps

  1. Map the complete alternate set
  2. Correct codes and absolute URLs
  3. Verify reciprocity on every deployed alternate

What this check cannot prove

Pasted markup cannot fetch alternate pages, validate their content language, or confirm search-engine processing.
