How this Hreflang Tags Generator works

This international SEO tool creates HTML link elements indicating alternate language and regional versions of web pages, helping search engines serve appropriate content to users based on location and language preferences. Users input page URLs for each language/region variant, specify ISO language codes (en, es, fr) and optional country codes (en-US, en-GB, es-MX), and generate properly formatted hreflang link tags or XML sitemap entries. The generator validates syntax preventing common errors like missing reciprocal links, conflicting regional specifications, or malformed locale codes that break international targeting. Bulk mode processes entire site structures from CSV uploads, x-default tag handles unlisted languages with fallback decisions, and preview tools verify implementation completeness. Applications include multilingual ecommerce ensuring Spanish users reach Spanish content, international news sites directing readers to regional editions, or global SaaS platforms optimizing search visibility across target markets while preventing duplicate content penalties from search engines treating language variants as separate URLs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is hreflang?

hreflang is a signal that tells search engines which language or regional version of a page to show to users. It helps prevent the wrong country/language page from ranking in the wrong market.

When should I use hreflang tags?

Use hreflang when you have the same (or very similar) content in multiple languages or regions, like en-US and en-GB. If you only have one version, you usually do not need it.

What hreflang codes should I use?

Use valid language codes (like en, fr, hi) and optional region codes (like en-US, en-GB). Only add a region when the content is truly localized for that country.

Where do I add hreflang tags?

You can add them in the HTML <head> as <link rel="alternate" hreflang="..."> tags. Some sites use XML sitemaps or HTTP headers instead, but HTML head tags are the most common for web pages.

Is this hreflang tags generator safe to use?

Yes. It runs 100% client-side, so your URLs and inputs stay in your browser and are not uploaded to a server.
