Frequently asked questions

What is x-default hreflang?

x-default is the fallback page for users whose language or region matches none of your versions — usually a language-picker or your primary locale. Google recommends including it, and this tool adds it automatically.

Do hreflang tags have to be reciprocal?

Yes. Every page in a set must list all the other versions, including itself. If A points to B but B does not point back, Google may ignore the hint. Paste the same generated block on every version.

Should I use HTML tags or the sitemap?

Either works. Sitemap-based hreflang scales better and avoids the reciprocity burden across many pages; HTML tags are simpler for a handful of pages. The generator outputs both formats.

Which codes does it validate?

It checks that language parts are valid ISO 639-1 codes, country parts are ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, that no hreflang is duplicated, that self-reference and x-default are present, and flags right-to-left languages so you can set dir="rtl".
