3xx Redirection

HTTP 302 Found

The requested resource resides temporarily at a different URL. Unlike 301, the client should continue to use the original URL for future requests. Often used for temporary redirects during maintenance.

Common Causes

  • Temporary redirect during site maintenance
  • Login redirect to authentication page
  • A/B testing redirecting to variant pages
  • Geo-based temporary routing

How to Fix

  1. 1Follow the Location header to the temporary URL
  2. 2Continue using the original URL for future requests
  3. 3If the redirect is permanent, use 301 instead
  4. 4Check server redirect rules for correctness

Example

HTTP 302 Found
GET /promo HTTP/1.1

→ 302 Found
→ Location: /seasonal-sale
