307 Redirect
307 is a temporary redirect that preserves the HTTP method (POST stays POST). It’s a stricter semantic alternative to 302.
Definition
307 Temporary Redirect is a temporary redirect status code similar to 302, but it explicitly preserves the HTTP method and body. For SEO, temporary redirects typically do not transfer long-term signals like permanent redirects and are best for short-lived changes.
Why it matters
- Use for short-term maintenance or routing changes
- Preserves HTTP method for POST/form flows
- Avoids treating temporary changes as permanent migrations
How to implement
- Use 307/302 only when the change is truly temporary
- Avoid using temporary redirects for permanent migrations (use 301/308)
- Remove the redirect once the temporary state ends
