Frequently Asked Questions
What are hreflang tags?
Hreflang tags tell search engines which language and regional version of a page to show to users. They help prevent duplicate content issues across multi-language sites.
Why is a self-referencing hreflang important?
Each page should include a hreflang tag pointing to itself. This confirms to search engines that the page is the canonical version for that language/region.
What is x-default?
The x-default hreflang value acts as a fallback for users whose language or region does not match any specified hreflang.
Do hreflang tags need absolute URLs?
Yes. Google requires hreflang href attributes to use fully qualified absolute URLs including the protocol (https://).
