LookupToolChakanFAQ
When Search Console reports automatic redirects, alternate pages, or noindex exclusions, identify the canonical URL first, then check whether canonical, hreflang, robots, sitemaps, and redirects send the same signal.
Why does Google mark a page as an alternate page?
Common causes include a canonical pointing elsewhere, redirect targets that differ from submitted URLs, incomplete language return links, or non-canonical URLs in the sitemap.
What usually breaks on multilingual pages?
The frequent issues are missing self-referencing canonicals, hreflang links without reciprocal returns, inconsistent language codes, or unclear x-default targets.
