what is 302

302 is an HTTP status code that indicates a temporary redirection of a resource or page to a different location. This code is used when a website or page has been moved temporarily, such as when a page is under construction or when a website is being redesigned. A 302 redirect lets search engines know that a website or page has been moved temporarily, and it should only be used when the change is temporary. The original page remains indexed in Google, and no value (link equity) is transferred to the new URL because Google knows this is just temporary. When used correctly, a 302 redirect will not hurt SEO efforts. However, if a website is delivering 302 redirects in error, it may negatively impact SEO and conversions.
