Hello Support Team,

My store URL is : https://etoilelaboutique.com

I have one issue from the Shopify hreflang script.

<link rel="alternate" hreflang="x-default" href="https://etoilelaboutique.com/">
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-AE" href="https://etoilelaboutique.com/">
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="ar-AE" href="https://etoilelaboutique.com/ar">

I am not able to find the above hreflang link.
I Found errors on the SEO side. Error is : hreflang link issue

I just want back slash ( / ) at the end of each links
like :

<link rel="alternate" hreflang="x-default" href="https://etoilelaboutique.com/" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-AE" href="https://etoilelaboutique.com/" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="ar-AE" href="https://etoilelaboutique.com/ar" />

Can you please check that link is and let me know. How can I modification from my end ?

Kind Regards,
Vijay Prajapati

It’s autogenerated and nothing you can access - at least with liquid.

  • Ask Shopify support to disable automated hreflangs (I usually do this on markets stores to handle this manually due to some issues)
  • Append the backslash with Javascript

Disclaimers;

  • I’m not aware if the backslash you mention actually is an issue.
  • I’m not 110% sure if the JS-solution can cause some trouble. But AFAIK it should be correctly indexed after some time. Might be wrong at first crawl though.

I have sorted this issue. Shopify support team has deactivated that links. Then I have added in theme.liquid file.

Now it’s working fine.

Thank you Shopify Support Team
