Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Natalie, As SEO Elevated said, the issue is most probably caused by the hreflang tag being within the canonical... Canonical should point to itself for each language version so to speak, have nothing to do with rel alternate or hreflang. Baisc example for language versions, required in both English and French Headers: <ink rel="alternate" hreflang="fr" href="yoursite.com fr="" "=""></ink rel="alternate" hreflang="fr" href="yoursite.com> Hope I've understood correctly, I looked at the homepage but feel free to share Good luck! Nick P.S Might be worth checking this tool out: https://technicalseo.com/seo-tools/hreflang/ There's quite a few of these "hreflang" validator type tools which can be useful in troubleshooting

Absolutely not a problem

Noup, there nothing wrong with the self referential canonical as long as it is consistent.
