Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

seo-hreflang scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Hreflang & International SEO

Validate existing hreflang implementations or generate correct hreflang tags for multi-language and multi-region sites. Supports HTML, HTTP header, and XML sitemap implementations.

Validation Checks

1. Self-Referencing Tags

  • Every page must include an hreflang tag pointing to itself
  • The self-referencing URL must exactly match the page's canonical URL
  • Missing self-referencing tags cause Google to ignore the entire hreflang set

2. Return Tags

  • If page A links to page B with hreflang, page B must link back to page A
  • Every hreflang relationship must be bidirectional (A→B and B→A)
  • Missing return tags invalidate the hreflang signal for both pages
  • Check all language versions reference each other (full mesh)

3. x-default Tag

  • Required: designates the fallback page for unmatched languages/regions
  • Typically points to the language selector page or English version
  • Only one x-default per set of alternates
  • Must also have return tags from all other language versions

4. Language Code Validation

  • Must use ISO 639-1 two-letter codes (e.g., en, fr, de, ja)
  • Common errors:
    • eng instead of en (ISO 639-2, not valid for hreflang)
    • jp instead of ja (incorrect code for Japanese)
    • zh without region qualifier (ambiguous; use zh-Hans or zh-Hant)

5. Region Code Validation

  • Optional region qualifier uses ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 (e.g., en-US, en-GB, pt-BR)
  • Format: language-REGION (lowercase language, uppercase region)
  • Common errors:
    • en-uk instead of en-GB (UK is not a valid ISO 3166-1 code)
    • es-LA (Latin America is not a country; use specific countries)
    • Region without language prefix

6. Canonical URL Alignment

  • Hreflang tags must only appear on canonical URLs
  • If a page has rel=canonical pointing elsewhere, hreflang on that page is ignored
  • The canonical URL and hreflang URL must match exactly (including trailing slashes)
  • Non-canonical pages should not be in any hreflang set

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
