Why 302 is special

302 says 'look over here, but keep asking here'. It is the right answer for a login redirect or a maintenance page and the wrong one for a permanent move, because search engines keep indexing the original URL. The distinction between 301 and 302 is small in code and large in consequence.

Not just a mathematical number

302is also used in ways where ordinary arithmetic doesn't apply — each listed below with what genuinely does and doesn't follow from it.

  • Mathematical number

    A genuine quantity — its mathematical properties (prime, square, factors, and so on) are real facts about it.

    A genuine quantity that ordinary arithmetic applies to — it can be prime, even, a perfect square, added to another number meaningfully, and so on.

  • Code

    Also used as a code — HTTP status codes.

    An assigned identifier from a fixed registry or standard — its digits don't represent an amount, and arithmetic on it is meaningless (HTTP status 404 + 1 is not a 'better' status; it's a different, unrelated code).

Connection
The single most consequential choice in redirect configuration. 301 says the move is permanent and passes search authority on; 302 says it is temporary and keeps the original canonical. Using 302 for a permanent migration is a documented way to lose search traffic.

Technology & computing

  • 302 is correct wherever the destination genuinely changes per request or per session — a login flow sending you onward, a maintenance page, an A/B split. Its defining property is that the original URL stays canonical, which is exactly what makes it wrong for a permanent move.
