The resource was intentionally and permanently removed.

Check a URL's HTTP status

What 410 means

410 is a stronger signal than 404 that the content will not come back.

Common causes

  • Content was deliberately deleted, such as an expired listing.

How to fix it

  1. Use 410 only when there is no relevant replacement; otherwise redirect with 301.

SEO impact

Search engines may drop a 410 URL from the index slightly faster than a 404.

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.
