What problem does it solve?
This Skill identifies, validates, and repairs hreflang implementations to prevent search engines from ignoring multilingual and multi-regional page sets, ensuring correct language/region targeting and canonical alignment.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Comprehensive Validation: Detects missing self-referencing tags, absent return tags, missing x-default, protocol mismatches, canonical misalignment, and invalid language or region codes.
- Generation & Output: Produces HTML link tags, HTTP header alternatives, or XML sitemap entries for correct hreflang implementations and prepares a corrected hreflang-sitemap.xml when applicable.
- Cross-Domain & Scale Support: Supports cross-domain hreflang checks, sitemap-based implementations for large sites, and verification steps for bidirectional relationships.
- Use Case: Audit a multinational ecommerce site to find broken hreflang relationships, generate corrected tags, and produce a sitemap-ready hreflang export for deployment.
