hreflang home page

  • Home page has many hreflang errors (according to google tools for webmaster) all “missing tag error”

    an example:

    for lang “x-default”
    aaa.com/ refers to aaa.com/en but has not return tag
    aaa.com/fr/ refers to aaa.com/en but has not return tag
    aaa.com/de/ refers to aaa.com/en but has not return tag

    for lang “en”
    aaa.com/ refers to aaa.com/en but has not return tag
    aaa.com/fr/ refers to aaa.com/en but has not return tag
    aaa.com/de/ refers to aaa.com/en but has not return tag

    for lang “fr”
    aaa.com/ refers to aaa.com/fr but has not return tag
    aaa.com/en/ refers to aaa.com/fr but has not return tag
    aaa.com/de/ refers to aaa.com/fr but has not return tag

    Any clue?

    Update, looking into the source code it seems to me that the problems are in fact two:

    1) one is due by the missing last forward slash:

    “aaa.com/fr/ refers to aaa.com/en but has not return tag”

    into aaa.com/en there is a reference to aaa.com/fr, it should be aaa.com/fr/

    2) the home page is redirected to the language home page depending on the language page but this one has only the reference to its lang pages:

    en:
    “aaa.com/ refers to aaa.com/en but has not return tag”

    fr:
    “aaa.com/ refers to aaa.com/en but has not return tag”

    …

    any clue?

    Hi @johnadelmo, thanks for raising this issue.

    I wasn’t aware that, by missing the forward slash, google console would warn about that. I’ll look into it

    thanks!
