Scope and evidence

Evaluated on pages in P with hreflang link elements. The book marks this requirement none (scanner; Google HTML tags guideline).

Fail conditions

Each condition has a stable code and a reason template. The evaluator fills the placeholders from observed values only; no sentence in a report is generated.

  • combined_attributes

    A link on {url} combines hreflang with media. Google advises against combining hreflang annotations with other attributes such as media in a single <link> tag.

The documented fix

Emit hreflang annotations in their own link elements.

Sources, quoted

These are the passages the rule rests on, stored once in the knowledge base and emitted exactly as written. A citation marked for specific conditions appears only on findings with those codes.
