#hreflang
hreflang connects language versions of the same page. Articles tagged here explain the attribute, return links and x-default. They show the most common errors found in multilingual audits. Each guide includes examples for WordPress translation plugins and custom sites. You will learn how to check every pair of pages at scale. Correct hreflang sends each visitor to the version in their language.
