Hreflang validator

Enter the pages you want to test — one URL per line.

What we validate

✓Return tags

Every page in a cluster links back to the others, in both directions.

✓Canonicals

Canonical tags point to the page itself, not a different locale or URL.

✓Language & region codes

Valid ISO language and country codes, with no duplicates per cluster.

✓x-default

A fallback x‑default is present for visitors that don’t match a locale.

✓Page health

Every hreflang URL returns 200 — no redirects, 404s or 403s.

✓Self-reference

Each page references itself within its own set of hreflang tags.
