3XX redirect

HTTP status codes ranging from 300 to 399 that indicate redirection responses from a server. These status codes are used to instruct web browsers and search engine crawlers to visit a different URL instead of the one originally requested. The specific code within the 3XX range indicates the type of redirection:

  • 300 Multiple Choices

  • 301 Moved Permanently

  • 302 Found (Moved Temporarily)

  • 303 See Other

  • 304 Not Modified

  • 307 Temporary Redirect

  • 308 Permanent Redirect

How to fix?

To fix a 3XX redirect issue, you typically need to examine the specific status code being returned and address the problem accordingly. Here's a general approach:

  1. Identify the specific redirect code: Determine which 3XX status code is being returned by the server. You can use browser developer tools, server logs, or online testing tools to identify the HTTP response codes.

  2. Understand the intent of the redirect: Different 3XX status codes indicate different types of redirection. For example, a 301 redirect signifies a permanent move, while a 302 or 307 redirect indicates a temporary move. Make sure you understand the intent behind the redirection to determine the appropriate action.

  3. Review the redirect configuration: Check the server configuration, .htaccess file, or any other relevant settings to see how the redirection is implemented. Ensure that the configuration aligns with the intended purpose of the redirect and that it points to the correct destination URL.

  4. Update or correct the redirect: If the redirection configuration is incorrect or outdated, update it to reflect the appropriate redirect type and target URL. This might involve modifying server settings, .htaccess rules, or code in your web application.

  5. Test the redirection: After making changes, thoroughly test the redirection to verify that it's working as expected. Access the original URL and confirm that it properly redirects to the intended destination without any errors or unexpected behavior.
