302

Found

3xx Redirection

RFC 9110

What it means

The requested resource is temporarily located at a different URL. Unlike 301, search engines keep indexing the original URL. The method may change to GET on redirect.

Common causes

  • Temporary maintenance redirect
  • A/B testing
  • Login redirect before accessing a protected page

How to fix it

If the move is permanent, use 301 instead. If temporary, ensure the redirect will be removed once the original URL is restored.

Example response

HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Location: https://example.com/temporary
