About this tool

Free Hreflang Checker

Hreflang helps search engines connect equivalent pages intended for different languages or regions. This checker extracts alternate links, normalizes language labels and highlights duplicate declarations and whether x-default is present.

How to use it

How to use it

  1. Enter the public page you want to inspect.
  2. Run the check and review the metadata extracted from the fetched HTML head.
  3. Compare the result with the page's intended search or social behavior before changing production markup.
How to read the result

How to read the result

Each alternate should point to the intended localized page and multilingual implementations normally need reciprocal relationships. x-default is optional but useful for a neutral selector or fallback page.

Limitations

Limitations

This checker inspects one page at a time and does not crawl every referenced alternate to verify reciprocity or HTTP status. Use the extracted targets as the starting point for a full multilingual audit.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is x-default required?

No. It is optional, but can identify a neutral fallback or language-selector URL.

Does this verify reciprocal hreflang links?

Not yet. It extracts the declarations on the submitted page; referenced pages are not recursively crawled.
