    Hi Fabrizio,

    The testing tool is complaining about the lack of a self-referecing tag.

    For example, on your english page, you have correctly added your tag pointing to your nl-NL page, but you lack the reference on your english page declaring it as en.

    Here is how your EN page should be:

    <link rel="alternate" href="http://fabriziophotos.com/day-van-angelina-en-richard-trouwreportages-rotterdam/" hreflang="nl-NL" />
<link rel="alternate" href="http://fabriziophotos.com/we-do-day-wedding-photography/" hreflang="en" />

    and your nl-NL page:

    <link rel="alternate" href="http://fabriziophotos.com/day-van-angelina-en-richard-trouwreportages-rotterdam/" hreflang="nl-NL" />
<link rel="alternate" href="http://fabriziophotos.com/we-do-day-wedding-photography/" hreflang="en" />

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks David,

    Now the question I have is how to implement the en or nl declaration on each page. Is it something I have to add manually?

    Hi Fabrizio,

    No, you can use the plugin to add the self-referenced tag, the same way to do with the alternate tag. Just click the plus (+) sign next the first tag you added.

    Please let me know if this isn’t clear.
