 Hreflang tags are essential for websites serving content in multiple
 languages or regions. They help search engines understand which version of
 a page to display to users based on their language or location, improving
 SEO performance and user experience.

 Currently, WordPress does not offer native support for Hreflang tags,
 leaving users reliant on third-party plugins like WPML or Hreflang
 Manager. While these plugins work well, they add complexity and cost,
 especially for users who need a simple, out-of-the-box solution.

 Adding native Hreflang tag support to WordPress core would:

 Simplify multilingual SEO for millions of WordPress users.
 Reduce reliance on third-party plugins.
 Align WordPress with other platforms (e.g., Shopify, Wix) that already
 include this feature.
 This feature could be implemented as part of the core SEO functionality or
 as an optional module for multilingual sites.

 Thank you for considering this request. I believe it would greatly benefit
 the WordPress community and improve the platform’s competitiveness in the
 multilingual space.
