• FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between 301 and 302?

301 is a permanent redirect — search engines transfer link equity. 302 is temporary — search engines do not transfer link equity and may keep the original URL indexed.

What is a redirect loop?

A redirect loop occurs when URLs redirect to each other cyclically. Browsers abort after a fixed number of hops (usually 10) and display an error.

How many redirects are too many?

Each hop adds latency (~100–200ms). Google recommends fewer than 5 hops per URL chain for SEO.

What is an HTTP to HTTPS redirect?

A 301 redirect from http:// to https:// ensures all traffic is encrypted. It should be combined with HSTS to prevent SSL-stripping.
