Hreflang Generator
Generate hreflang tags for multilingual and multi-regional websites and create ready-to-use HTML link elements.
Input & settings
Hreflang implementation requires reciprocal/return references between alternate pages. This generator creates the markup, but you should verify the implementation across the relevant URLs.
What Is Hreflang?
Hreflang links describe equivalent pages intended for different languages or regions.
When Should You Use Hreflang?
Use it for genuine localized alternatives, including regional English pages. A language does not always need a region.
How to Implement Hreflang
Add each language and URL, optionally choose regions and x-default, then copy the generated HTML into the head of each alternate page. Include self-references and return references.
Common Hreflang Mistakes
Review duplicated language/region values, incorrect codes and unrelated destination pages. Generating tags alone does not verify your implementation. Use the same complete set on the relevant pages.
