What is the difference between 301 and 302 redirects?

[donamiller90]

A 301 redirect means that the page has permanently moved to a new location. 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.

Both 301 and 302 redirects serve a similar purpose, but are both used for different types of situations. A 302 redirect is intended to be a temporary redirect, while a 301 redirect is for permanent redirects. When it comes to SEO, 301 redirects are generally recommended when updating or merging URLs on your website.
