Why we use 302 redirection?

 

[zozoreview]

HTTP status code 301 is known as permanent redirect. It means that the resource (page) is moved permanently to a new location. The client/browser should not attempt to request the original location but use the new location from now on.

HTTP status code 302 means that the resource is temporarily located somewhere else, and the client/browser should continue requesting the original url for subsequent requests.

Edit

Why do we use these codes?

Browsers(well most of them) cache 301 redirects indefinitely. So when browser makes a call to original resource second time, it always calls the redirected resource. To undo this, you need to issue a 301 direct from new resource to old resource. If you would like to control the caching duration, you can use the the HTTP response headers Cache-Control and Expires to do the same.

302 redirects are not cached by browsers. So when browser makes a call to original resource second time, it calls the original resource.

A 302 redirect is a temporary redirect. There are very few instances where this type of redirect should be used, but unfortunately, it is the easiest to implement. This means that many webmasters unfamiliar with search engine mechanics use the wrong type of redirect.

302 Temporary Redirection. This redirect doesn’t carry or pass the link value to the new location. What it does do is get the user to an appropriate location for you so that you aren’t showing them a broken link, a 404 page not found, or an error page.

you should avoid 302 redirection from your website.

302 redirect is a temporary redirection process where we redirect a URL and the traffic of that URL for temporary basis. This is easy to implement but try to avoid this as this redirection sometimes shows an broken link and used for doing spam also.

A 302 redirect means that the move is only temporary. Search engines need to figure out whether to keep the old page or replace it with the one found at the new location.

A 302 is a HTTP reaction code that advises the customer to locate the asked for asset incidentally at an alternate area. The area is determined in the "Area" header. The 302 header is typically alluded to a "302 Found" header, 302 discovered (initially brief sidetrack, yet now generally used to indicate redirection for the unspecified reason).

302 redirection is temporary redirection. better to use 301 redirection which is permanent redirection
