What it means
The URL is temporarily at a different location. Redirection responses tell the client to request a different URL.
Common causes
Login redirects, A/B tests, temporary maintenance.
How to fix it
If the move is permanent, switch to 301 so search engines transfer ranking.
If you are a visitor
Nothing is wrong. Your browser handles this response automatically.
If you own the site
Browsers follow redirects automatically, up to a limit. Check for loops. Permanent redirects (301, 308) pass ranking signals to the new URL. Temporary ones (302, 307) tell search engines to keep the old URL. Long chains and loops waste crawl budget. Run the HTTP status checker to see exactly what your URL returns, and use uptime monitoring to be told when it changes.
