I'm planning to add hreflang attribute to my websites which are in different languages, including my main website which is in English. So I have few questions regarding this.

  1. Is the hreflang attribute to be added only on the homepage or shall I add it on every page?

  2. On every language version of my website I shall mention all other website using hreflang like this?

    HTML source code showing link elements with hreflang and rel-alternate

Yes, every page with an alternate. This is clearly stated in the specification:

rel="alternate" hreflang="x" is used as a page level, not a site level, and you need to mark up each set of pages, including the home page, as appropriate.

Emphasis mine.

  • @Sanchit I'm not clear what you're looking for with the second point: it's a statement, not a question. Can you clarify?
