Compatibility: Magento 2.3.0 - 2.4.x (CE, EE, ECE, B2B)


TL;DR: Magefan Hreflang Tags Extension for Magento 2 helps you add accurate hreflang tags across multilingual Magento websites. It clearly defines which language or regional version of a page to show to users, prevents duplicate content issues between localized stores, and improves your store’s visibility in Google.

What are Hreflang Tags?

Hreflang tags are small snippets of code used to mark different language versions of the same content. Thus, if your Magento store has English, German, and French versions of the same product page, hreflang tags help Google understand which version to show to users based on their language or location.

For example, hreflang tags of a product page can be added as follows:

<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://example.com/product.html" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="de" href="https://example.com/de/product.html" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="fr" href="https://example.com/fr/product.html" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="x-default" href="https://example.com/fr/product.html" />

Hreflang tags benefit SEO by helping search engines understand which language or regional version of a page should appear for each user, so people land on the most relevant content in search results. This improves international visibility, increases click-through rates, and creates a smoother user experience.

Why Do You Need the Magento 2 Hreflang Tags Extension?

Managing hreflang tags in Magento manually can quickly become difficult, especially if you run multiple store views, languages, or regional domains. This increases the possibility of adding hreflang tags incorrectly or missing them entirely, which results in indexing issues.

Without proper hreflang implementation:

  • Search engines may index the wrong language version
  • Merchants get duplicate content between localized stores
  • Store pages have lower visibility in international search results

Magento doesn’t provide built-in tools for effective hreflang management. Fortunately, the Magefan Magento 2 Hreflang Tags extension has a solution. It automates the process by generating and placing alternate hreflang tags automatically.

Besides, it offers a handy admin panel interface to add hreflang tags manually without any code editing. This helps search engines understand your site structure, improves visibility in international search, and ensures customers land on the correct version of your pages.

Features of the Magento 2 Hreflang Tags Extension

  • Add hreflang tags automatically to product and category pages
  • Add hreflang tags manually from the admin panel
  • Include hreflang URLs in the XML sitemap
  • Disable hreflang tags on NOINDEX pages
  • Add hreflang tags for different language variants
  • Organize different websites into separate locale groups
  • Add x-default hreflang tag

Benefits of the Hreflang Tags Extension in Magento 2

Improve Visibility in Localized Search Results

When managing a multilingual store, you translate your pages into multiple languages, creating separate versions of the same content. Without proper calls for search engines, they don’t know which version to show in search results and often treat such pages as duplicates.

The Magefan Magento 2 Hreflang Tags extension solves this issue. It helps you add hreflang tags automatically and define different language versions of the same page. This improves your visibility in localized search and lets customers reach the correct version of your page right from the start.

Generate Hreflang Tags with No Coding

You certainly have your hands full with running your multi-language Magento store. Add manual hreflang tag management on top of that, and your store operation turns into pure chaos. That’s why you need a reliable tool to help you out.

This Magento 2 Hreflang Tags extension generates hreflang tags automatically for product and category pages. There are no complicated setups or integrations. Just enable the extension, and it will do the rest.

Add Hreflang Tags from the Admin Panel

At this point, you may ask: What happens with pages that have different IDs, unlike products and categories? The Hreflang Tags Extension for Magento 2 covers this use case as well.

You can easily add hreflang tags via the admin panel by specifying the alternative version of a specific page. Again, no complex configurations here. Just set up the necessary hreflangs using a convenient interface, and rest assured that the extension populates them properly.

Cover Different Language or Region Codes

Managing a multilingual store is one thing. Having different language variants that target different regions is when it becomes complicated. For example, you may have French for France and Canada, or AU/GB/US English. What do you do in this case?

This Magento 2 Hreflang Tags extension allows you to specify locale codes and define clearly which regions each store view targets. This way, you avoid content duplication issues between the languages you manage and appear in more targeted results for different regions.

Manage Hreflang Tags for Separate Websites

Magento handles complex setups, so you may manage not one, but a few multilingual websites within the same installation. When it comes to hreflang tags, each website should have its own set of tags, which makes the configuration more complicated.

However, the Magefan Hreflang Tags Extension for Magento 2 has an easy solution. It allows you to assign your websites to different locale groups using the admin panel settings. This way, hreflang tags aren’t cross-added between the websites, but stay in the assigned locale group.

Include Hreflang URLs in the XML Sitemap

With the Magento 2 Hreflang Extension, you will easily generate hreflang tags for different pages. Yet, you can maximize your efforts even more.

You may also include the hreflang tags in the XML sitemap to tell Google about the localized pages and get them indexed faster. There are no complex settings here. All you have to do is enable one option in the extension configuration, and you’ll be all set.
