Frequently Asked Questions
What is an hreflang tag?
An hreflang tag tells search engines which language or regional version of a page to show users. It uses a link element with rel=”alternate” and an hreflang attribute in your page head.
What is x-default used for?
The x-default hreflang points to the fallback page when no language or region matches the user’s settings. It is recommended for international sites with a default landing page.
Where do I place hreflang tags?
Add the generated link tags inside the head section of each page version. Every alternate version should reference all other versions, including itself.
Can I use region codes like en-us?
Yes. Use ISO 639-1 language codes (en, de, fr) or language-region codes (en-us, en-gb, de-at) for more specific targeting.
Is this tool free and does it work on mobile?
Yes on both counts. The Hreflang Tag Generator on draft21 is completely free with no sign-up required and works on all devices.
