Html ошибка 302

HTTP 302 codes are a valuable way to redirect website users to a different URL temporarily. However, if your website is delivering 302 redirects in error, it’s a sign that something’s wrong.

Don’t worry — you can fix this problem — but you’ll need to do some troubleshooting.

The first step is to understand precisely what HTTP 302 codes are, how they work, and why they occur. Once you know that, you can figure out what’s gone wrong and how to make it right.

In this post, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about HTTP 302 errors. Then we’ll share five troubleshooting tips to help you fix them.

Let’s get started!

What Are HTTP 302 Status Codes?

302 codes are a specific type of HTTP status code. These codes are like “notes” that a server delivers to your browser.

Whenever you click on a link or navigate to a URL, your browser requests the webserver for the same. In return, the server sends back the relevant resource (e.g. the page you’re trying to access) along with an HTTP header. The HTTP status codes are inside that header.

Typically, you can’t see these status codes anywhere on the web page. You’ll only usually see them when an error occurs, or if you’ve installed a browser extension that makes them visible:

A screenshot showing the current URL's HTTP status code, displayed through use of a Chrome browser extension.

3xx status codes (301, 302, etc.) are a class of status codes called “redirection codes.” They’re returned whenever the server sends back a new resource instead of the requested resource.

In other words, they’re shown when the website page you intended to access redirects you to a different page.

The critical difference between code 301 and code 302 is that the former is used for permanent redirects, whereas the latter is for temporary redirects.

The 301 redirects also pass “link juice,” whereas 302s don’t. That has a significant impact on Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

How 302 Redirects Work

When you set up a 302 redirect for a page on your website that’s temporarily unavailable, and a user visits that page, your webserver will respond to the visitor’s browser with a special Location header. This header will indicate the new URL that the browser should redirect the user to instead.

For example, imagine that a user types blog.example.com into their browser URL bar, but the website is configured to redirect it to blogging.example.com.

The server response will include both the 302 status code and the Location: blogging.example.com header. This setting tells the user’s browser to redirect this request to the new URL instead.

Of course, all of this happens automatically and behind the scenes. The user shouldn’t be able to see any of this play out. Instead, their browser should automatically take them to the new resource.

Why HTTP 302 Errors Happen

If something is misconfigured on your website, it might cause 302 codes to be issued in error. If this happens, you may run into problems such as:

  • A page on your website that redirects your visitors elsewhere when it shouldn’t
  • A page on your website that redirects your visitors to the wrong resource
  • The ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS error (also known as a “redirect loop”)

The last of these issues is the only one that will display an actual error page. If you’re using the Chrome browser, a redirect loop error page will look something like this:

The Chrome ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS error message, with the text

The Chrome ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS error message.

On Mozilla Firefox, it looks like this:

The Firefox ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS error message, with the text

The Firefox ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS error message.

All of the above problems are caused by some misconfiguration. It may be a plugin conflict, incorrect URL settings, or a misconfigured .htaccess file.

How to Fix the HTTP 302 Error (5 Methods)

Next, we’ll walk you through five troubleshooting methods that can help you figure out what’s causing the problem and fix it.

Before we get started, make sure to perform a complete backup of your website first. That way, if anything goes wrong, you can always revert to the previous version. You can use a WordPress plugin to do this.

1. Determine Whether the Redirects Are Valid

302 responses are usually not errors. Temporarily redirecting users to a different page can be a valid configuration and isn’t usually something that requires fixing.

It’s only an error if your website is responding with 302 codes that it shouldn’t be issuing, or if it’s causing a redirect loop. Therefore, the first step is to double-check which URLs are generating the HTTP 302 codes and determine whether the redirect is appropriate or not.

To do so, you can navigate to the pages on your website you suspect of issuing the 302 error and see for yourself if they behave as expected. If a temporarily unavailable page redirects to the correct resource, it’s appropriately configured.

However, if a page redirects you to the wrong resource or your browser reports a redirect loop by bringing up an ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS error page, it’s a sign that one (or more) of your redirects isn’t configured quite right.

2. Check Your Plugins

One of the most common causes of 302 errors and redirect loops is plugins.

Some WordPress redirect manager plugins and SEO tools like Yoast SEO manage your website redirects for you and enable you to set up redirect rules:

The Yoast SEO Premium plugin redirect settings page.

The Yoast SEO Premium plugin redirect settings page.

If these rules are misconfigured, or if two plugins conflict, it can cause unexpected issues. Therefore, you’ll need to check each relevant tool that’s installed on your site.

For example, if you’re using the popular 301 Redirects WordPress plugin, you can check the configuration by navigating to Settings > 301 Redirects. Under Redirect Rules, you’ll see a list of all the redirect rules you’ve set up:

The Redirect Rules settings page for the 301 Redirects WordPress plugin.

The Redirect Rules settings page for the 301 Redirects WordPress plugin.

Check all the 302 redirects listed here, and make sure they’re all correct.

You’ll also want to ensure that you haven’t set up anything in a way that could cause a redirect loop. For example, if Page-A is set to redirect to Page-B, but Page-B is also set to redirect to Page-A, this will cause an error.

If you have multiple redirect manager plugins and you’re not sure which one is causing the issue, you can try deactivating them one by one from the WordPress Plugins page (be sure to make a backup first):

The Plugins page in the WordPress admin dashboard.

The Plugins page in the WordPress admin dashboard.

After deactivating each plugin, try revisiting the problem URL to see if the 302 error persists.

If the problem is suddenly fixed, you’ll know which plugin was causing the issue, and you can then choose to troubleshoot further or remove it from your site.

3. Ensure That Your WordPress URL Settings Are Configured Correctly

Another common cause of the HTTP 302 error is a misconfiguration in the WordPress URL settings.

To check this, navigate to Settings > General in your WordPress dashboard. Here, you should see a WordPress Address (URL) field and a Site Address (URL) field:

The General Settings page in WordPress with highlighted Address fields.

The General Settings page in WordPress.

In most cases, the URLs in both of these fields should match. Make sure they’re both the same, including the “www” portion (or lack thereof) before the domain name.

If they don’t match, update the settings, then check the URL of the page issuing the HTTP 302 error to see if it’s fixed.

4. Check Your Server Configuration

A misconfigured server can also sometimes cause 302 redirect errors. Therefore, the next step is to check your server configuration.

If your host uses the Apache webserver, you can do this by checking your.htaccess file.

First, connect to your site’s server via a control dashboard like cPanel or an FTP client. Then navigate to the root directory of your site — the same place as the wp-admin and wp-content folders — and find the .htaccess file:

A screenshot of an .htaccess file highlighted in a website's root directory folder.

The .htaccess file in the site’s root.

If you aren’t finding the .htaccess file here (and you’re sure on an Apache server), you may need to tell FileZilla to show hidden files before it’ll appear in the file list.

Next, open the file in your favorite text editor. It should look something like this:

A screenshot of an .htaccess file open in a text editor, with RewriteXXX directives highlighted within the code.

RewriteXXX directives in an .htaccess file.

Now, we’re going to look for RewriteXXX directives (the highlighted elements above). Without getting too technical, RewriteCond and RewriteRule directives are used to perform redirections from one URL to another.

The RewriteCond directive specifies the URL you want to redirect the visitor away from, while the RewriteRule directive specifies the URL you want to redirect them to. Here’s an example:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^website.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.temporary-website.com/$1 [R=302]

The flag at the end, “[R=302]”, tells the browser that this is a temporary 302 redirect.

If you notice any RewriteXXX combinations similar to the above in your .htaccess file that shouldn’t be there, you can comment them out, save the changes, and reload the problem web page to see if it resolves the issue.

Just make sure to download and save a spare copy of your .htaccess file before you make any changes in case something goes wrong.

5. Speak to Your Web Host

If you’ve tried all of the above methods and you’re still having trouble, the next step is to speak to your web host.

Troubleshooting a 302 code error beyond this point requires a lot of technical know-how. Therefore, unless you’re a professional developer, it’s probably best to get help from an expert.

Summary

HTTP 302 status codes are a completely normal way to redirect your website visitors. However, they should only be used when the resource page is temporarily unavailable.

Suppose your website is issuing 302 codes in error or causing redirect loops. In that case, it’s vital to fix this problem as soon as possible, or it may negatively impact your SEO and conversions.

You can follow these five steps to fix HTTP 302 errors on your website:

  1. Determine whether the redirects are appropriate or not by examining the URLs that are issuing the 302 redirects.
  2. Check your plugins to make sure any redirect settings are valid.
  3. Ensure that your WordPress URL settings are configured correctly.
  4. Check your server configuration by looking for incorrect RewriteXXX directives in your .htaccess file (Apache servers only).
  5. Speak to your web host for further technical support if the problem persists.

HTTP response status code 302 Found, also previously known as “Moved Temporarily», is returned by the server to indicate that the client redirects to a new location specified within the Location HTTP header, because HTTP response is temporary it is expected to be revalidated upon the next time the URI is requested.

Usage

When the 302 Found status code is received, the client will understand that the requested resource has temporarily moved to a new location. As such, it can make a second HTTP request to fetch the resource to continue processing the original HTTP request. This is somewhat simpler than a 301 Moved Permanently status code because the client is not expected to take action such as updating internal links.

Note

For backward compatibility, the client may change the HTTP request method from POST to GET for the subsequent HTTP request. However, this is not recommended. To remove ambiguity, the server can return an alternative status code. The 303 See Other status code indicates that the HTTP request must change to a HTTP GET method, whereas the 307 Temporary Redirect status code stipulates that the HTTP request method has to be preserved for the subsequent HTTP request.

Note

Search engines may interpret an URI returning a 302 Found status code over a prolonged period of time as equal to the 301 Moved Permanently status code and treat it as such.

Example

In the example, the client requests a resource that has been temporarily moved. The server indicates the new location and supplies a relevant message that can be displayed on the client-side.

Request

GET /news.html HTTP/1.1
Host: www.example.re

Response

HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Location: http//www.example.re/testing/news.html
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 167

<h1>The Newsfeed has moved</h1>
<body>
The site is currently under development and the newsfeed has temporarily moved to <a href=/testing/news.html>here</a>.
</body>

Takeaway

The 302 Found status code indicates that the requested resource has been temporarily moved and that a second, otherwise identical HTTP request has to be made to fetch the resource. As the requested resource has moved temporarily, the URI has to be revalidated upon the next time the resource is requested.

Last updated: August 2, 2023

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The HTTP response status code 302 Found is a common way of performing URL redirection. The HTTP/1.0 specification (RFC 1945) initially defined this code, and gave it the description phrase «Moved Temporarily» rather than «Found».

An HTTP response with this status code will additionally provide a URL in the header field Location. This is an invitation to the user agent (e.g. a web browser) to make a second, otherwise identical, request to the new URL specified in the location field. The end result is a redirection to the new URL.

Many web browsers implemented this code in a manner that violated this standard, changing the request type of the new request to GET, regardless of the type employed in the original request (e.g. POST).[1] For this reason, HTTP/1.1 (RFC 2616) added the new status codes 303 and 307 to disambiguate between the two behaviours, with 303 mandating the change of request type to GET, and 307 preserving the request type as originally sent. Despite the greater clarity provided by this disambiguation, the 302 code is still employed in web frameworks to preserve compatibility with browsers that do not implement the HTTP/1.1 specification.[2]

As a consequence, RFC 7231 (the update of RFC 2616) changes the definition to allow user agents to rewrite POST to GET.[3]

Example[edit]

Client request:

GET /index.html HTTP/1.1
Host: www.example.com

Server response:

HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Location: http://www.iana.org/domains/example/

Status Code 302: «Moved Temporarily»

HTTP Status Code 302: «Moved Temporarily»

Usually, 302 redirects are used incorrectly. There are not many situations where you would want to use them as a webmaster or digital marketer.

A 302 redirect seems similar to a 301 redirect. They do the same thing for the user: move them to a new location. The difference is that one is a permanent redirect, and the other is a temporary redirect.

A permanent (301) redirect says to «Hey Google, this page has been permanently moved to this new location. Any of the rankings and link equity that it used to have, please pass those on to the new URL».

A temporary (302) redirect says to «Hey Google, this page has been temporarily moved to this new location. Do not pass any of the rankings and link equity to the new location».

Let’s say you were running a Superbowl television ad, and your call to action was «Visit us at Website.com». And just for that day, you wanted to temporarily redirect all the traffic that came to your homepage, to Website.com/superbowl-ad. That might be one instance where you’d be okay with a temporary redirect.

Other situations where you might use this might be temporary situations when you’re collecting data. For example, if you are manually doing an A/B test and bucketing users on your own, you might want to implement a 302 redirect.

When the server responds with a 302 Found status code, it signals to the client that the requested resource has been temporarily relocated. This prompts the client to send another HTTP request to fetch the resource and continue processing the initial request.

Its purpose is to ensure that page requests are directed to the appropriate location, while keeping the URL used by search engines intact during indexing.

Usually, you want to stick with 301 redirects instead.

The HTTP Protocol

Let’s talk about how the HTTP protocol works.

At its very foundation, the Internet is made up of two core things: clients and servers.

Any time you click on your browser, you are accessing the Internet through a web client. It may be Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Internet Explorer.

When you visit a website, you are making a request to a web server.

Facebook.com, ClickMinded.com, MarthaStewart.com/1525880/marthas-chocolate-chip-cookies, all of these sites have their own home address. It’s called an IP address.

Your home address might be 123 Main Street, New York, NY 10001, and Facebook’s address happens to be 66.220.144.0.

Whenever you visit a page on the web, you are requesting a whole bunch of documents from that website’s server. Maybe those documents are HTML, CSS, images, a PDF—whatever it is, the basic relationship stays the same: you (the client), make a request, and the website (the web server) responds to that request.

The language you are using to make these requests is called the HTTP protocol. These protocols are really just standards that everyone on the web has agreed to. Just like English, Spanish and Chinese are all languages that have an understood protocol, HTTP is just a bunch of standards and an understood protocol.

There are a number of different web protocols out there – and you might be familiar with some of them:

  • DNS – Domain Name System
  • FTP – File Transfer Protocol
  • HTTP – Hypertext Transfer Protocol
  • IRC – Internet Relay Chat Protocol
  • SMTP – Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
  • SSL – Secure Sockets Layer

HTTP Status Codes

Now that we understand what the HTTP protocol is, let’s talk about HTTP status codes. Status codes let us know whether the HTTP request was a success, a failure, or something in between.

Let’s take a look at the five core status codes:

  1. 1xx block: informational requests
  2. 2xx block: successful requests
  3. 3xx block: redirects
  4. 4xx block: client errors
  5. 5xx block: server errors

Some status codes are more common than others. For example, when you’re doing digital marketing, you’ll often come across status code 200, status code 301 and status code 404 — but you may never see status code 206 or 307.

Let’s briefly go over each status code block and what they mean.

1xx Status Codes

These are informational requests. The server hasn’t fully completed the request yet and it’s still processing the information. You will not see these codes often. They include:

  • 100 – Continue
  • 101 – Switching protocol
  • 103 – Checkpoints

2xx Status Codes

These are successful requests, which means everything is okay. They include:

  • 200 – OK (you will see this one the most)
  • 201 – Created
  • 202 – Accepted
  • 205 – Reset Content
  • 206 – Partial Content

3xx Status Codes

These are redirects. These are shown when you request an address, but you are sent somewhere else. These can be good or bad. They include:

  • 301 – Moved Permanently
  • 302 – Found
  • 304 – Not Modified
  • 305 – Use Proxy
  • 307 – Temporary Redirect

4xx Status Codes

These are client errors. That means something went wrong with the request (client/user) and not the response (website/web server). They include:

  • 400 – Bad Request
  • 401 – Unauthorized
  • 403 – Forbidden
  • 404 – Not Found
  • 408 – Request Timeout
  • 410 – Gone
  • 429 – Too Many Requests

5xx Status Codes

These are server errors. That means something went wrong with the response (website/server) and not the request (client/user). They include:

  • 500 – Internal Server Error
  • 502 – Bad Gateway
  • 503 – Service Unavailable
  • 504 – Gateway Timeout

Код 302 Found не является ошибкой, это информационное сообщение, которое возвращается в ответ на запрос
к временно перемещенному ресурсу. Код Found должен содержать в себе информацию о новом
месторасположении.

О чем свидетельствует ошибка 302

Код 302 устанавливает системный администратор ресурса. При этом в заголовке сообщения Location должен
быть указан новый адрес. Браузер автоматически перенаправляется по указанному url, но при этом поисковые
системы не обновляют ссылки так, как это происходит в случае использования кода 301 Redirect. Вес ссылки
в поисковой системе при этом также не изменяется и не переносится на новый адрес, указанный в заголовке
Location.

Рекомендуется применять этот способ перенаправления в качестве ответа только для некоторых поисковых
методов, в частности:

  • GET, при котором все данные передаются в строке запроса;
  • HEAD, при котором сервер запрашивает информацию о заголовке искомого ресурса или файла.

Для ответа на запросы, отправленные другими поисковыми методами, при временном перемещении ресурса
рекомендовано применять код 307 Temporary redirect

Что делать пользователю, когда в браузере появляется код ошибки 302

Если вы увидели сообщение 302 Found, прежде всего, посмотрите заголовки, в которых должно содержаться
перенаправление. Если в заголовке нет перенаправления, напишите в техническую поддержку ресурса или
хостинг-провайдера — бывает, что его настраивают по ошибке.

Причины возникновения кода 302 found

Его не настраивают для тех url, которые изменены на постоянной основе. Основная причина использования —
техническое обслуживание сайта, во время которого контент может быть размещен на временном домене.
Главная цель, которую преследует при этом системный администратор — чтобы поисковые системы не начали
индексацию по новому адресу. Иногда не совсем добросовестные администраторы интернет-магазинов
настраивают код 302 для товаров, которых в данный момент нет в наличии.
