Hreflang Validator Reciprocal
Reciprocal hreflang validator
Validates hreflang setup on multilingual sites by building a directed graph of every language tag and catching the issues Google silently rejects: missing reciprocal links, missing x-default fallback, broken ISO/BCP 47 codes, missing self-references, and cross-language canonical conflicts. It parses sitemap blocks, HTML head tags, and crawl exports so the right user sees the right language version.

See the actual work before you buy it.
One missing return link and Google quietly discards your entire language cluster. The validator graphs every hreflang edge, hunts non-reciprocal pairs, and checks each code against the format Google actually accepts.
- Parses the sitemap's hreflang blocks (with an XXE-safe XML parser) or the HTML head tags into a directed graph, where every hreflang annotation is an edge from one URL to another.
- Hunts missing reciprocals: page A points at B but B never points back. It is the single most common error and the one that makes Google discard the entire language cluster.
- Validates that every cluster has an x-default fallback and that every page self-references its own URL, both hard requirements Google checks.
- Verifies each language code against BCP 47 format: tr-TR with a hyphen passes, while tr_TR with an underscore, a bare country code or wrong casing gets silently ignored by Google.
- Catches canonical conflicts, because a page whose canonical points at another language version drops out of the index entirely and takes its hreflang signals with it.
- Cross-reads Search Console country-impression data for anomalies (a Turkish page earning most of its impressions from the US means the setup is wrong) and outputs the prioritized fix list.

-
Our site is WordPress with WPML, not Next.js. Can it still validate our hreflang?
Yes. The validator is source-agnostic: it parses sitemap XML blocks, HTML head tags, and crawl exports, so it reads the tags wherever they live, whether that's Next.js i18n, WPML, or Webflow.
-
How does it catch reciprocity gaps that Search Console never shows me?
It builds a directed graph of every language tag and lists each A-to-B edge that has no B-to-A return. On top of that it checks x-default coverage per language cluster, validates BCP 47 code formats, and flags canonical-versus-hreflang conflicts per page.
-
Will it fix the broken tags automatically?
No. It's a validator: it finds the issues, produces a findings report, and gives you an integration checklist. Applying the fixes in your codebase or CMS is your step.
