Hreflang Tag Generator

Build hreflang tags for international SEO.

<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://example.com/" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-GB" href="https://example.com/uk/" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="es" href="https://example.com/es/" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="x-default" href="https://example.com/" />

hreflang must be reciprocal: every language version should list the full set, including itself. Use a language code (en) or language-region (en-GB). x-default points crawlers to your fallback for unmatched locales.

How to use the Hreflang Tag Generator

  1. 1 Add a row for each language or region version with its code and URL.
  2. 2 Optionally set an x-default fallback URL.
  3. 3 Copy the hreflang tags into the <head> of every version.

Examples

  • ▸ <link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-GB" href="https://example.com/uk/" />

Frequently asked questions

Where do hreflang tags go?

In the <head> of each page (or in your XML sitemap / HTTP headers). Every language version must list the full set of alternates, including a self-reference.

What is hreflang="x-default"?

It tells search engines which page to show users whose language or region does not match any of your specific versions — usually a global or language-selector page.

What code format should I use?

Use an ISO 639-1 language code (en) optionally with an ISO 3166-1 region (en-GB). Do not use a region alone.
