What does HTTP 301 Moved Permanently mean?

The requested resource has been permanently moved to the URL in the Location header. Browsers and search engines update their references, and link equity ("SEO juice") is passed to the new URL.

3xx responses tell the client that further action — usually following a new URL — is needed to complete the request. They are central to redirects and caching.

Common causes

Switching from HTTP to HTTPS or from non-www to www (or vice versa)
Restructured URLs after a site migration or CMS change
