Too many hreflang entries

MediumNeeds reviewInternationalizationPer-page checkhreflang_too_many

What this means

The page declares over 50 hreflang entries, which is unusually high and normally indicates a misconfiguration as well as noticeable HTML bloat.

How to fix it

Review the implementation: share a language version between regions where you can, and consider declaring hreflang in an XML sitemap instead of in the HTML for very large clusters.

Fix effort

This check needs review: the change can be drafted for you, but a person has to approve the wording or choose the target before it ships.
