<h3>Features</h3>

<li><strong>General Settings:</strong> Navigate to the Settings page and configure the HTML language attributes (there is a link included to look those up) for your primary and secondary languages. Define the language “folder” page and specify the number of pages your website will have (up to four in the Lite version).</li>
<li><strong>Map Translations:</strong> Use the Translation Mapping tab to link each secondary language page to its corresponding primary language page. Important: make sure to set the homepage as first mapped page.</li>

<p><strong>Hreflang Customizer</strong> is a free plugin that generates hreflang tags for your WordPress pages automatically. It works on any site — no multilingual plugin is required.</p>
<p>Hreflang tags tell search engines which language and region each page targets. This prevents duplicate-content issues across multilingual or multi-regional sites and helps the right version of your page rank in the right country.</p>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>✅ Works <strong>without</strong> any translation plugin — standalone mode out of the box</li>
<li>✅ Also integrates with <strong>Weglot</strong> for translated URL mapping</li>
<li>✅ Searchable language picker with 180+ languages and regional variants</li>
<li>✅ Selected languages shown as removable tag chips with language codes</li>
<li>✅ Language list cached via WordPress Transients API (no repeated API calls)</li>
<li>✅ Clean, modern admin UI — fully responsive</li>
<li>✅ No upsells, no premium tier — 100% free</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<p><strong>Standalone mode:</strong> Select your target language codes in the settings page. The plugin outputs one <code><link rel="alternate" hreflang="..."></code> tag per selected code in the <code><head></code> of every page, pointing to the canonical URL of that page.</p>
<p><strong>Weglot mode:</strong> If Weglot is installed and active, the plugin maps Weglot’s translated URLs to your selected hreflang codes automatically.</p>
<h4>Example Output</h4>
<pre><code><link rel="alternate" href="https://yoursite.com/about/" hreflang="en-AU" />
<link rel="alternate" href="https://yoursite.com/about/" hreflang="en-GB" />
<link rel="alternate" href="https://yoursite.com/" hreflang="x-default" />
</code></pre>
<h4>Third-Party Service</h4>
<p>This plugin optionally fetches an extended language list from <strong>https://app.seo-hreflang.com/api/languages</strong> to supplement its built-in language database. The request is made at most once every 12 hours. No personal data, user data, or site content is transmitted — the request contains no body payload. The result is cached locally using the WordPress Transients API.</p>
<p>If the external service is unavailable, the plugin automatically falls back to its built-in list of 180+ languages and continues to work normally.</p>
