About the Hreflang Tag Generator

This free hreflang generator builds rel="alternate" hreflang="…" tags so search engines know which language or country version of a page to show. If you run English, German, and Lithuanian URLs — or separate US/UK pages — correct hreflang reduces “wrong language” results and duplicate confusion.

Enter each language (or language-region) code with its absolute URL, generate the tag set, and paste it into every page in the cluster. Every version should list the same alternates, including a self-reference.

What you get

  • HTML <link rel="alternate" hreflang="…"> tags ready for <head>
  • Support for language codes (en, de, lt) and regions (en-US, en-GB)
  • Optional x-default for users whose language does not match a variant

How to use

  1. List each live, indexable URL in the cluster (HTTPS, no unnecessary parameters).
  2. Assign the correct hreflang code to each URL.
  3. Generate tags and paste the full set into every page in the group.
  4. Verify reciprocity with view-source, then request indexing for key URLs.

Quick rules that prevent errors

  • If A points to B, B must point back to A.
  • Include a self-referencing hreflang on each page.
  • Point only at 200 URLs — not redirects or noindex pages.
  • Use en-GB, not en-UK.
  • Keep each language URL’s canonical pointing to itself.

FAQ

Is this the same as a language switcher? No. A switcher helps visitors; hreflang helps search engines pick the right URL. You usually want both aligned to the same destinations.

Does a hreflang generator improve rankings? It mainly improves which URL is shown to which audience. Content quality and links still drive rankings.

Do I need hreflang on a single-language site? Usually not. Use it when you truly have alternate language or country URLs for the same content.
