About the Hreflang Checker
Reads and validates a page's hreflang annotations — the tags that tell Google which language/region version of a page to show. Broken hreflang causes the wrong page to rank in the wrong country.
What this tool checks
- Lists every hreflang tag and its URL
- Checks for an x-default
- Flags duplicate language codes

When do I need hreflang?
