International Monitor
My International Monitor checks whether your hreflang tags and HTML language declarations are correctly set up and consistent with your page content. Incorrect international targeting signals are one of the most common causes of regional ranking confusion. This tool crawls your page and verifies that your language tags, hreflang annotations, and actual page content are all in agreement. Run a check on any international landing page, or monitor regularly to catch issues introduced during localisation updates.

Frequently Asked Questions
It crawls the submitted URL and checks three things: the lang attribute on the HTML element, all hreflang annotations in the page head, and the detected language of the actual page content. It flags mismatches between any of these, since inconsistencies are what cause search engines to serve the wrong regional version.
It evaluates the language attribute in the HTML element, inspects all hreflang tags in the document head, and analyses the detected language of the page content to confirm that everything is consistent.
Focus on your highest-traffic international landing pages and the main entry points for each regional site section. These pages are the most likely to have localisation errors introduced when editors make translation updates or when developers push template changes across multiple regional variants simultaneously.
Hreflang tells search engines which version of a page to serve to users in a given country or language. If the tags are missing, malformed, or inconsistent with the actual page content, search engines cannot confidently serve the correct regional version. This leads to the wrong page appearing in regional search results, or pages competing against each other unnecessarily.
