About Hreflang Generator

Generate hreflang tags, XML sitemap markup, HTTP headers, x-default entries, and international SEO validation checks.

A Hreflang Generator helps create alternate language and regional annotations for international pages. Hreflang tags signal equivalent page versions for different languages or regions, such as en-US for United States English, en-GB for United Kingdom English, fr-FR for French users in France, or x-default for a general fallback page. This tool generates copy-ready HTML, XML sitemap, and HTTP header formats while checking common international SEO mistakes.

How to use Hreflang Generator

Enter a project name, primary domain, default language, optional default region, and preferred implementation method. Add alternate page rows manually, use quick templates, or paste bulk locale and URL pairs. Review validation messages for malformed language codes, duplicate locales, duplicate URLs, missing x-default, mixed domains, tracking parameters, URL fragments, relative URLs, and self-reference issues. Copy the HTML tags, XML sitemap markup, HTTP Link header, or developer handoff block once the set is ready.

Hreflang Generator example

A global SaaS page might use en-US at https://www.example.com/en-us/features/, en-GB at https://www.example.com/en-gb/features/, de-DE at https://www.example.com/de/funktionen/, ja-JP at https://www.example.com/ja/features/, and x-default at https://www.example.com/features/. The same complete hreflang set should appear on every alternate page so search engines can understand the relationship between each version.

Helpful questions

What is hreflang?

Hreflang is an HTML, XML sitemap, or HTTP header annotation that identifies alternate versions of a page for different languages or regions.

Do hreflang tags need x-default?

x-default is not always mandatory, but it is recommended when you have a global fallback page, language selector, or default page for users who do not match a specific locale.

Can this tool verify reciprocal hreflang links?

No. This tool does not crawl external pages. It provides implementation checks and a reciprocal checklist, but live reciprocal validation requires crawling the actual pages.

Should hreflang URLs be absolute?

Yes. Google documents hreflang href values as fully-qualified URLs. Use the canonical, crawlable URL for each alternate version and prefer HTTPS when that is the live page protocol.
