What does HTTP 302 Found mean?

The resource temporarily resides at a different URL. Unlike a 301, the original URL should keep being used, and search engines do not transfer ranking signals to the temporary location.

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

• Temporary redirects, e.g. to a maintenance or A/B-test page
• Redirecting users to a login page before returning them
• Geo- or device-based temporary routing

What to do

• Use 302 only for genuinely temporary moves; use 301 for permanent ones
• Verify the Location header is correct
• For SEO-sensitive permanent moves, switch to 301
