Canonical & Hreflang Checker

Checks the canonical tag resolves to the page, and lists hreflang alternates with their return-link status.

Why it matters

A canonical tag pointing to the wrong URL tells Google another page is the real one - a common, invisible reason a page refuses to rank. Hreflang errors do the same for multilingual sites.

What you get

Checks that the canonical resolves and is self-referencing, and lists every hreflang alternate with its HTTP status and whether an x-default exists.
