HTML lang attribute checker

The lang attribute on the <html> tag says which language your page is in. ShipPatrol checks it's set.

Why it matters

It helps browsers offer translation, helps screen readers pronounce words correctly and is a small hint for search engines.

How Patch checks

We read the lang attribute of the <html> element on each page.

How to fix it

  1. Add lang="en" to the <html> tag of every page.

Your own report goes further: it names the exact pages, services and settings Patch found on your site, and with a full report you get a fix prompt to paste into Lovable, Bolt or Cursor.
