About Hreflang Tags
Hreflang tags tell search engines which language and regional version of a page to show to users based on their location and language preferences. This is essential for multilingual websites and websites targeting different countries.
When to Use Hreflang
- Your site has content in multiple languages
- You have regional variations of the same language (en-US vs en-GB)
- You have country-specific content (different prices, products, etc.)
- You want to prevent duplicate content issues across language versions
Hreflang Format
The hreflang value uses ISO 639-1 language codes, optionally combined with ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 country codes:
en- English (any region)en-US- English for US usersen-GB- English for UK usersde- German (any region)de-AT- German for Austriax-default- Fallback for unmatched users
Implementation Methods
There are three ways to implement hreflang:
1. HTML Link Elements
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://example.com/en/page" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="es" href="https://example.com/es/page" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="x-default" href="https://example.com/page" />2. XML Sitemap
<url>
<loc>https://example.com/en/page</loc>
<xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://example.com/en/page" />
<xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="es" href="https://example.com/es/page" />
</url>3. HTTP Headers
Link: <https://example.com/en/page>; rel="alternate"; hreflang="en",
<https://example.com/es/page>; rel="alternate"; hreflang="es"Important Rules
- Hreflang must be reciprocal - each page must link to all versions including itself
- Use absolute URLs, not relative paths
- All linked pages must return 200 status codes
- Use consistent URL format across all versions
- Include x-default for a catchall fallback
- Don't use hreflang for content that's only slightly different
