Definition

A 302 redirect signals a temporary move. Search engines may keep the old URL indexed, unlike a 301 permanent redirect.

Why it matters during migration

Avoid 302 chains during migration cutover; use 301 unless the move is genuinely temporary (e.g. short maintenance).

How To WP applies this

Our audits and delivery playbooks reference 302 redirect when scoping redirects, QA, and launch monitoring — especially for SEO workstreams.
