Incorrect hreflang markup can cause search engines to show the wrong version of your site to international users — or not show anything at all. This may result in alternate pages not being indexed correctly. Our checker ensures your regional pages are properly linked and indexed, helping avoid duplicate content issues and lost rankings. With regular audits, you can maintain clean multilingual architecture and avoid critical SEO mistakes.
Different user-agents (Googlebot, Bingbot, etc.) can parse hreflang in slightly different ways. Our checker allows you to simulate specific user-agents so you can test how your hreflang implementation behaves across search engines and spot inconsistencies early.
Yes — hreflang must be validated page by page. A single broken or missing hreflang tag can compromise an entire language cluster and confuse Google and other bots. Our tool automates this process across thousands of pages, ensuring nothing slips through.

Frequently Asked Questions Guide ➜To help search engines show the right version of a page to users based on their language and region — avoiding duplicate content issues and improving international SEO.
href defines the page URL, while hreflang tells search engines which language and region that page targets. They work together to support alternate language versions.
Use ISO 639-1 for language codes and ISO 3166-1 Alpha 2 for countries. Always include return tags, and verify implementation across all indexed pages regularly.
