How to check hreflang tags

To check your hreflang tags, copy the page HTML or just the head markup and paste it into the checker. It extracts every link rel=alternate hreflang entry, lays out the language-and-region mapping in one view, and flags the issues that commonly break international targeting.

The checker runs entirely in your browser, so the markup you paste is never sent to a server. That makes it safe for staging pages and unpublished templates, and it works instantly without an account.

  • Paste full HTML or just the head markup
  • Review the alternate language and region mapping
  • Check flags for duplicate or suspicious codes
  • Confirm an x-default entry is present

What hreflang problems it catches

Hreflang mistakes are easy to make and hard to spot by eye. This checker surfaces duplicate hreflang codes pointing at different URLs, values that do not look like valid language or region codes, and the absence of an x-default entry when multiple alternates exist, which is one of the most common oversights.

It is deliberately a heuristic, paste-based tool rather than a full site crawler. It checks the markup you give it and flags obvious issues clearly, without pretending to validate return tags across an entire live site. That keeps it fast and honest for a pre-launch review.

FAQ

Common questions

Short answers for the questions people usually have before trying a utility like this.

Is this hreflang checker free?

Yes. This hreflang tag checker is free to use with no sign-up, and you can check as many pages as you like.

Does it upload my HTML to a server?

No. The HTML or head markup you paste is parsed entirely in your browser, so it stays private and is never uploaded.

Does it check the linked pages too?

No. This checker validates only the markup you paste. It does not crawl or fetch the alternate URLs to verify their return tags.

Does it warn about missing x-default?

Yes. When multiple alternate entries are present, the checker surfaces a missing x-default as a practical note so you can add one.

Can I check staging or unpublished pages?

Yes. Because everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded, you can safely paste markup from staging or draft pages.
