Hreflang Tag Generator

Generate hreflang tags for multilingual and international SEO

The root domain for your site

en-US โ˜…
es-ES
fr-FR
de-DE

The โ˜… mark indicates the x-default page (shown to users with no matching language)

  <link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-US" href="https://example.com/" />
  <link rel="alternate" hreflang="x-default" href="https://example.com/" />
  <link rel="alternate" hreflang="es-ES" href="https://example.com/es/" />
  <link rel="alternate" hreflang="fr-FR" href="https://example.com/fr/" />
  <link rel="alternate" hreflang="de-DE" href="https://example.com/de/" />
Best Practices

Always include x-default: The x-default hreflang indicates which page to show users when no language matches their browser settings.

Bidirectional linking: Each language version should link to all other versions, including itself.

URL consistency: Use consistent URL patterns across all language versions (e.g., /es/, /fr/, /de/).

Return tags:Ensure both <link> tags and sitemap entries reference each other correctly.

Note:Place these tags in the <head> section of each page. For XML sitemaps, include the xhtml namespace and list all language variants.

Without hreflang tags telling a search engine which page is meant for which language or region, a French-language version of a page can outrank the English version for an English-speaking searcher, or the reverse, since nothing signals that these pages are regional alternatives meant to serve different audiences the same content. This tool generates hreflang tags for a set of language and regional page versions, and specifically handles the requirement that these tags be reciprocal, if one page references another as an alternate, that other page needs to reference the first one right back, or search engines may disregard the whole set.

Useful for making sure the correct regional version of a page shows up for each audience, setting up hreflang correctly across a multi-language site without missing the reciprocal linking requirement, or fixing a site where the wrong language version keeps ranking for the wrong audience.
