3xx Redirection
HTTP 302 Found
The resource is temporarily available at a different URL.
Check a URL's HTTP statusWhat 302 means
The original URL should keep being used in the future. Clients may change a POST into a GET; use 307 to preserve the method.
Common causes
- A temporary campaign, maintenance page, or A/B test.
- A login flow redirecting to a sign-in page.
How to fix it
- Use 301 or 308 instead if the move is permanent.
- Check that temporary redirects are removed when no longer needed.
SEO impact
Search engines usually keep the original URL indexed for a 302. A long-lived 302 may eventually be treated like a 301.
How to check a status code
Enter a URL in the HTTP Status Checker to see its status code, every redirect hop, and response time. For redirect-heavy pages, the Website Speed Test shows how much time redirects add.
