Inspect language alternates and check a limited set of return links.
Use the Hreflang Checker
What this tool helps you check
International alternatives should point to equivalent localized pages and refer back to each other. Enter a public URL to list rel=alternate hreflang tags, flag invalid-looking codes and check up to four referenced pages for a reciprocal link to the source.
How to use it
- Enter a page with published hreflang tags
- Check each code and destination URL
- Review missing reciprocal links on the limited set of alternates checked
Interpreting the result
This tool cannot prove translation equivalence, full-site consistency or every regional edge case. It checks only the source and up to four public alternate URLs, with bounded requests for safety and speed.
Limitations and next steps
Check important decisions against your original business data and the relevant provider documentation. Results describe the inputs supplied, rather than a guarantee of future outcomes.
