Kristian Svensson (ID: 0000000156dd2867) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/18/2023 Very useful to check for the existence of hreflang return-tags. Works well with html hreflang-tag implementation. I could definitely see this extension extended with more hreflang features. /Kristian Svensson (Sr Technical SEO)

Artem Maryin (ID: 0000005617ad3ea1) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 01/21/2021 Worst extension ever! I had a problem with Czech version of page (I marked it as "cz", not "cs"), but it said everything is ok. Never use this plugin.

Data Guy (ID: 000000bbbc563846) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/29/2017 Tool does not assess sitemap files for hreflang tags. This is sometimes the only way to manage hreflang generation.
