Hreflang Tag Generator

Build hreflang tags for multi-language and multi-country sites. Includes x-default validation and reciprocity warnings.

hreflang tags tell Google which URL serves which language and country. Critical for sites with multiple language versions or country-specific content. This generator builds tags with validation for missing x-default and duplicate language codes.

What is hreflang and why do I need it?

hreflang tags tell Google that a URL has alternate language or country versions. Without hreflang, Google may serve the wrong language to a user (e.g. show the German page to a French user who landed on it accidentally). For multi-country B2B SaaS sites, hreflang is essential.

+
Where do hreflang tags go?

Three options: (1) in the as , (2) in the XML sitemap as elements, (3) in the HTTP header (for non-HTML files). Most sites use head tags. The set must be implemented on every language version with reciprocal tags.

+
What is x-default?

x-default is the fallback language used when none of the explicit hreflang values match the user's language. Typically points to the default English version. Strongly recommended for multilingual sites.

+
How do I know which language codes to use?

Use ISO 639-1 (two-letter) codes for language only: en, de, fr, ru. Add ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 region codes for language-region specificity: en-US, en-GB, de-CH (Swiss German), fr-CA (Canadian French). Mismatched or invalid codes cause GSC errors.
