This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client is receiving error messages from SEMrush for six sites indicating that there is "No self-referencing hreflang" for pages such as https://www.nimbo.net/bewertungsmethoden/.
Solution:
We have reviewed the URLs provided and found that they do include self-referencing hreflang tags. For instance:

<link rel="alternate" hreflang="de" href="https://www.nimbo.net/bewertungsmethoden/" />

If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend checking the source code of the page that is reportedly missing the self-referencing hreflang tag. If it is indeed missing, please update the source code accordingly. If you find that the self-referencing hreflang is present, the error may be a false positive from SEMrush.

If this solution doesn't look relevant or if you need further assistance, please open a new support ticket with us.

Hi there,

This looks like a possible false positive.

I've reviewed your URL's showing in semrush and they all have self-referencing hreflang included

view-source:hidden link
view-source:hidden link

For example <link rel="alternate" hreflang="de" href="hidden link" />

If there is a page that is missing it's self-referencing , please review the source code if indeed it's missing it and update me here, please.
