307 Redirect.
Learn what 307 Redirect means in modern search and SEO.
A temporary HTTP redirect that preserves the original HTTP method (POST, PUT) of the request when redirecting to the new URL.
A 307 Temporary Redirect instructs the client to repeat the same request—including its HTTP method and body—at a new URL. Unlike a 302 (which browsers typically convert to a GET request), a 307 guarantees that a POST request remains a POST when redirected. It was introduced in HTTP/1.1 to fix ambiguous 302 behaviour.
307 vs 302 in Practice
For most web pages, the distinction between 307 and 302 is irrelevant—browsers handle both similarly for GET requests. The difference matters for API endpoints and form submissions where method preservation is critical. From an SEO perspective, both are temporary redirects and neither reliably transfers PageRank.
SEO Implications
307 redirects are rarely used for SEO purposes and mostly appear in infrastructure contexts (load balancers, API gateways, HTTPS upgrade middleware). If a 307 is encountered during a technical audit on a standard web page, it typically indicates a misconfigured server and should be replaced with a 301 if the move is permanent or a 302 if genuinely temporary.
