hreflang monitoring — keep every language visible in search.
Relvato validates your hreflang cluster — reciprocal links, valid language codes, an x-default — and checks every locale variant actually loads and stays indexable, so a broken translation never costs you a whole market.
- ✓The hreflang cluster is reciprocal and complete
- ✓Valid language/region codes and an x-default
- ✓Each locale variant returns 200
- ✓No locale accidentally set to noindex
hreflang is fiddly and breaks silently: a plugin update drops a return link, a routing change 404s a locale, one language slips into noindex. Google then serves the wrong language or none. Relvato re-validates the whole cluster on every change.
- Reads the hreflang cluster and checks it’s reciprocal, uses valid language codes, and includes x-default.
- Loads each locale variant and confirms it returns 200 and isn’t noindexed.
- Catches a translation-plugin or routing change that breaks one language’s hreflang or deindexes it.
Do I need a plugin?
No — hreflang monitoring works on any multilingual site with a verified domain.
What usually breaks it?
A translation-plugin update, or a routing/permalink change that alters one locale’s URLs.
