How it works
The server supplies a Location destination; choose the status according to the actual move.
Example
Example: A short campaign temporarily sends visitors to a seasonal page.
Common mistakes
Do not retain a temporary status for a permanent migration without a reason.
How can you check this in practice?
Inspect the first HTTP response and Location without automatically following it, then open the destination. Restore the original page when the temporary change ends. For a permanent move, use a permanent status and update internal links.
Distinctions and limitations
302 and 307 are temporary, but 307 preserves the request method. Do not use a temporary status as a universal fix for deleted pages; an unrelated destination does not resolve missing content.
