Technical SEO check
Hreflang targets returning non-200
A language alternate that does not resolve directly to a usable page can break the intended cluster even when the declaration syntax looks valid.
Complete evidence✦Explicit boundaries✦Verifiable outcomes
What this finding means
A delivered hreflang target returns a redirect, client error, server error, authentication wall, or another non-direct-success outcome.
Evidence to preserve
- Declaring URL and language annotation
- Target initial status, final status, and final URL
- Redirect hops and outcome class
- Canonical, indexability, cache, and verification context
How to repair the cause
- Point the declaration directly to the final language page
- Restore the target when it should exist
- Remove obsolete alternates
- Align sitemap, canonical, and language-cluster generation
How to verify the fix
Fetch both the declaration and target again, then confirm the target is directly successful and still participates in a reciprocal cluster.
A successful response does not prove that the translation is complete or editorially equivalent.
