What Are The Various Redirect Types?

There are several forms of redirect which have different purposes. Here’s how some of the most common types compare:

• 301 Redirect (Permanent): Indicates that a particular URL has been permanently moved to a different location. Redirects pass the search-engine optimization value to the new URL, and are perfect for changing domains or merging pages.
• 302 URL (Temporary): Means a temporary URL change — and search engines keep the original as primary. Great for maintenance or short-term relocation.
• 307 Redirect (Temporary): Quite similar to 302 but tells browsers to use the same HTTP method used before for the new location.
• 308 Redirect (Permanent): Similar to a 301, but also preserves the HTTP request method.
• Meta refresh: Embedded in HTML, this tells browsers to “refresh” the page after a specified time, redirecting users to a new URL. While this is useful for SEO, it is not as reliable as server-side SEO redirects like 301 or 302.
