URL to Check

Try:

HTTP Redirect Status Codes

301

Moved Permanently

SEO-safe. Search engines update their index.

302

Found (Temporary)

Search engines keep the original URL indexed.

303

See Other

POST/PUT redirected to GET. Common after form submission.

307

Temporary Redirect

Preserves the HTTP method. Use instead of 302.

308

Permanent Redirect

Like 301 but preserves the HTTP method.

200

OK (No Redirect)

The URL is the final destination.
