Use 302 and 307 redirects deliberately, not interchangeably
Compare 302 vs 307 redirects in practical terms: temporary intent, method preservation, browser behavior and SEO-safe deployment choices.
Many teams treat 302 and 307 as cosmetic variants, but they communicate slightly different behavior. If your stack mixes app rules, proxies and edge logic, the distinction matters.
What is the practical difference between 302 and 307?
Both are temporary redirects, but 307 is the stricter signal when you want the client to preserve the original method. That matters more in application flows than in simple SEO-only moves.
Which one is better for SEO?
Neither is inherently better. The right choice depends on whether the move is truly temporary and whether preserving request method behavior matters in your stack.
