3xx Redirects

302 Found (temporary redirect)

The page is temporarily somewhere else. Search engines keep the old URL in their index.

When you see it

  • Laravel's redirect() and back() (after a form post, after login).
  • A permanent move done with 302 by mistake.

What to do

  1. 1

    Fine after form posts and logins.

  2. 2

    For moves that are permanent, change it to 301 or 308 so search engines update their index.

.htaccess redirect generator

In Laravel

redirect()->route(...) sends 302 by default; pass 301 as the status for permanent redirects.

Check the status of a URL

The first line of the response shows the status code; -L follows redirects and shows each step.

curl -I https://example.com/page
curl -IL https://example.com/old-page
