Links with Hreflang and Page Language Conflict

Priority: High

Impact: Negative

What issues it may cause​

The hreflang information can be used by search engines to show the most relevant page to users in search results.

How do you fix it​

The page should be reviewed to determine the appropriate language and the hreflang link updated accordingly.

What is the positive impact​

Where the primary language of the page does not match the hreflang language used in hreflangs pointing to the page, search engines may ignore the hreflang links, or the page may be incorrectly shown to users in search results.

How to fetch the data for this report template​

You will need to run a crawl for report template to generate report. When report has been generated and you have crawl id you can fetch data for the report using the following query:

query GetReportStatForCrawl(
    $crawlId: ObjectID!
    $reportTemplateCode: String!
    $after: String
   ) {
      getReportStat(
        input: {crawlId: $crawlId, reportTemplateCode: $reportTemplateCode}
      ) {
        crawlLinks(after: $after, reportType: Basic) {
          nodes {
            urlTo
            urlToTitle
            relUrlFrom
            urlFrom
            urlFromTitle
            urlToDeeprank
            urlToDominantLanguages
            hreflangLanguage
            dominantLanguagesHreflangMismatch
          }
          totalCount
          pageInfo {
            endCursor
