Example output

A realistic example

Example hreflang tags output

<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://example.com/">
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-gb" href="https://example.com/uk/">
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="ar" href="https://example.com/ar/">
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="x-default" href="https://example.com/">
Avoid these

Common mistakes

Every version must link back to the others. One way hreflang is ignored by Google.

undefined

Use valid ISO codes. A typo like en-uk instead of en-gb breaks the tag.

undefined

Region without language, such as gb alone, is invalid. Pair language with region.

undefined

Without x-default, users who match no version may land on the wrong page.

undefined

Every hreflang URL must return a live 200 page, not a redirect or 404.

undefined

Do not declare hreflang in both the head and the sitemap with different data.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a hreflang generator?
It is a tool that creates valid hreflang tags telling search engines which language and regional version of a page to serve each user.
When do I need hreflang tags?
Use them when you have the same content in multiple languages or targeted at multiple regions, so Google shows the right version to each audience.
What is the x-default tag?
x-default specifies the fallback version for users whose language or region does not match any of your specific targets.
Do hreflang tags go in the head or sitemap?
Either works. Place them in the page head or in your XML sitemap, but do not mix conflicting declarations across both.
Why is my hreflang not working?
The most common causes are missing return tags, invalid language codes, or URLs that redirect. Every version must reference every other version.
Does hreflang help rankings?
It does not boost rankings directly, but it ensures the correct regional page ranks for the right audience, which improves international SEO performance.
