π Hreflang Tag Generator
Add languages and URLs to generate a complete hreflang tag set. Validates for missing x-default and self-referencing rules.
Language and Region URLs
x-default URL (Optional)
Use x-default for a fallback URL when no language/region match is found. This is typically your homepage or a page that can detect the user's language.
Pro Tip
Place hreflang tags in the <head> section of your HTML. You can also use HTTP headers or an XML sitemap for large implementations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between hreflang and content translation?
Hreflang tells search engines about language variants; translation is the actual content in different languages. You need both. Hreflang points to translated content.
Do I need an x-default hreflang tag?
Yes. The x-default tag is the fallback for users whose language or location don't match any specific version. It's required by Google's guidelines.
Can I use hreflang for just language without country?
Yes. You can use just language codes (en, es, fr) or language-country codes (en-US, es-ES). The tool supports both.
What happens if my hreflang tags are wrong?
Wrong hreflang tags can cause wrong-language pages to appear in search results, confuse search engines about your site structure, and create crawl inefficiencies.
