Found

The resource is temporarily at a different URL. Keep using the original.

302 Found is a temporary redirect: the resource is somewhere else right now, but the original URL is still the canonical one. Use it for things like sending a logged-out user to a sign-in page. If the move is permanent, use 301 instead so search engines update their index.

What 302 looks like on the wire

About 3xx Redirection

Further action is needed to complete the request, usually following a redirect to another URL.

How to fix 302 Found

Use 302 only for temporary moves - keep the original URL canonical.
Set the Location header to where the client should go now.
For permanent moves, switch to 301 so SEO signal transfers.
If you need the method preserved on redirect, use 307 instead.
