HTTP status codes
- 200 OKPage works
The page loaded correctly.
- 301Moved permanently
Use it when changing an address, migrating or merging pages.
- 302 / 307Moved temporarily
Useful during testing or promotions, but they do not pass SEO value.
- 404Page not found
Restore the page, set up a 301 redirect or fix the link.
- 410Deliberately removed
The server states clearly that the page will not come back and has no new address configured.
- 500Internal server error
A problem occurred while connecting to the server. Check the server logs and plugins.
Best practices
- Avoid redirect chains. Every redirect adds loading time.
- Use one type of redirect in a chain - do not mix 301 with 302.
- Send 404 addresses that have traffic and links to the closest match, not to the home page.
Common mistakes
- Redirect chains longer than 3 URL hops - they slow down page loading and make it harder for crawlers and bots to scan the site.
- 302 redirects between domains - the new address may never make it into the Google index.
- Redirecting to the home page instead of similar content - it hurts topical authority. From an SEO point of view, this is a serious mistake.
- Setting up redirects in JavaScript and meta refresh instead of server rules.
