Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our Hreflang Checker tool.
Why is a self-referencing hreflang tag important?
A self-referencing tag is a requirement in international SEO. Each alternate language version of a page must reference itself as well as the other versions.
What is reciprocity in hreflang tags?
Reciprocity means if Page A says Page B is its Spanish alternate, Page B MUST link back to Page A as its English alternate. Without reciprocal links, search engines will ignore the hreflang configuration.
What is x-default used for?
The x-default hreflang attribute designates the fallback page for users whose language/region matches none of the specified alternates (typically a generic landing page or redirect script).
