Quick Start: Generate Basic Hreflang Tags
Visit HeronTool's Hreflang Tags (multi-language tags) tool. Paste your page URL into the input box, then add each language version below (e.g., en, zh-CN, fr). Click "Generate" and the tool will output complete hreflang tag code, including alternate and x-default. Copy directly into your website's section.
Batch Processing and Validation
For multi-page sites, use the tool's "Batch Generate" feature: upload a CSV file (columns: URL, language code, target URL). The tool generates tags for each row. After generating, use the "Validate" feature to check for missing tags or incorrect language codes (e.g., writing zh-Hans as zh).
FAQ
Q: When should I use hreflang? When you have multiple language versions of the same content, to prevent search engines from misinterpreting them as duplicate content.
Q: Can I place hreflang tags in an XML sitemap? Yes, you can add hreflang attributes to each URL in your sitemap, but HeronTool's tool primarily outputs HTML tag format.
Q: What if a language version doesn't exist? Use the x-default tag as a fallback page.
