All HTTP Status Codes
302
Found
3xx Redirection
RFC 9110What 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
