Pages with Non-Reciprocated Hreflang Links

Priority: Low

Impact: Negative

What issues it may cause

The hreflang links on the page which are not reciprocated will be ignored by search engines.

How do you fix it

For each hreflang link, validate that the hreflang target page is a languge or region alternate, and add a reciprocal hreflang link back to the original URL.

What is the positive impact

Regional page variations which are very similar and do not have reciprocal hreflangs may be deduplicated and removed from search engine indexes.

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

query GetReportStatForCrawl(
      $crawlId: ObjectID!
      $reportTemplateCode: String!
      $after: String
     ) {
        getReportStat(
          input: {crawlId: $crawlId, reportTemplateCode: $reportTemplateCode}
        ) {
          crawlUrls(after: $after, reportType: Basic) {
            nodes {
              pageTitle
              url
              foundAtSitemap
              deeprank
              nonReciprocateHreflangOutCount
              level
              hreflangCombination
              hreflangUrlCount
              hreflangOnPage
              hreflangOnHeader
              hreflangOnSitemap
              foundInGoogleAnalytics
              foundInGoogleSearchConsole
              foundInBacklinks
              foundInList
              foundInLogSummary
              foundInWebCrawl
              foundInSitemap
            }
            totalCount
            pageInfo {
              endCursor
              hasNextPage
            }
          }
       }
     }
