302 vs 307 Redirects: Which Temporary Redirect Should You Use?

302 and 307 are both temporary

Both codes tell clients that the move is not permanent. For many page-level SEO checks, that shared temporary intent is the main thing that matters.

Where 307 is stricter

307 preserves the original HTTP method, while 302 has more historical ambiguity across clients and implementations. That matters more for APIs and non-GET requests than for ordinary marketing pages.

Practical choice

Use 302 when a classic temporary page redirect is enough. Use 307 when method preservation matters and you want less ambiguity in how the redirect is handled.
