Hreflang to Non-200 URLs
URLs in hreflang tags which return a non-200 status code.
Priority: Medium
Impact: Negative
What issues it may cause
An hreflang where the target URL does not return a 200 status will be ignored by search engines.
The URLs are likely to be crawled by search engines in the process of validating the hreflangs resulting in some wasted crawl budget.
How do you fix it
Update the hreflang target so it's pointing to the relevant page with a 200 response code.
What is the positive impact
Search engines may show the alternate language page in search results for users where appropriate.
Crawl budget can be saved so other pages may be crawled more frequently, or save on server costs.

getCrawl(id: $crawlId) {
reportsByCode(
input: {

}
) {
