FAQ

Q1: Why is en-UK wrong β€” should it be en-GB?

Language tags use ISO region codes. United Kingdom is GB, not UK, so British English is en-GB.

Q2: Does this crawl my site?

No. Paste language codes and absolute URLs only β€” no network requests are made.

Q3: What formats can I export?

HTML link tags for <head>, xhtml:link entries for XML sitemaps, or an HTTP Link header.

Q4: Is my data uploaded?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser and is never uploaded.

Q5: What is x-default?

An optional fallback locale for users whose language is not listed in your hreflang set.
