Is my data uploaded to a server?

No. All tag generation runs locally in your browser. Your URLs never leave your device.

Do I need to add hreflang to every page?

Yes — hreflang must be added to every page in the language set, and each page must reference all others (including itself). Missing tags on even one page can cause the entire set to be ignored.

Should I use HTML link tags or the sitemap method?

Both work equally well for Google. The sitemap method is easier to manage for large sites with many pages. The HTML method is better for smaller sites or if you cannot control your sitemap.

x-default is a special hreflang value that tells Google which URL to show when no other language/region variant matches the user's browser settings. It is typically the homepage or a language selector page.

What is Hreflang?

The hreflang attribute tells Google which language and/or region a page targets. It prevents duplicate content penalties for multilingual sites and ensures search engines serve the correct regional version to each user.

Hreflang Format

Format	Example	Meaning
Language only	`hreflang="en"`	English, any region
Language + region	`hreflang="en-US"`	English, United States
x-default	`hreflang="x-default"`	Fallback for unmatched regions

Important Rules

Every page in the set must include hreflang tags pointing to all versions including itself. Tags must be reciprocal — if page A references page B, page B must reference page A. Missing reciprocal tags cause the tags to be ignored by Google.
