Frequently Asked Questions
What is hreflang used for?
The hreflang attribute is an HTML tag used to tell search engines which language and regional version of a webpage should be shown to users in different locations.
For example, if you have one version of your page in English for the UK (en-GB) and another in French for France (fr-FR), hreflang helps Google understand which one to serve to each user.
By adding the hreflang tag to your pages, you:
- Improve international SEO by preventing duplicate content issues across translated or regional pages.
- Ensure the right users see the right version of your content based on their language or location.
- Link related language pages together, helping search engines correctly interpret your global site structure.
In short, hreflang is used to connect and organize multilingual or multi-regional versions of your website so users (and search engines) always land on the most appropriate version.
