What is the hreflang HTML attribute?
The hreflang HTML attribute, which goes inside link elements included in the HEAD section of the page,
helps search engines understand that certain pages are targeted for a
specified language or country. By implementing this attribute you can
send your users to the targeted pages and greatly increase the SEO
performance of your website.
Why a plugin?
The implementation of the hreflang attribute in a website powered by
WordPress can be a very cumbersome process without a specific plugin,
for this reason we developed Hreflang Manager.
How does it work?
With the “Connections” menu or with the “Hreflang Manager” sidebar you can
connect the pages of your website with the related versions targeted for
different languages or different countries. The plugin will handle your connections by adding the proper html markup
in the HEAD section of the selected pages.
