307 Redirect

307 Temporary RedirectSEO term

01 Definition

307 Redirect meaning: A temporary HTTP redirect that preserves the original request method, such as POST.

A 307 redirect is a temporary redirect, similar to a 302, but it guarantees the browser reuses the same request method rather than switching it to GET. It is also produced internally when a site is on the HSTS preload list. Like 302, it keeps the original URL indexed.

Also called

temporary redirect

Why it matters

How 307 Redirect fits the work

307 matters when forms or API calls must keep their method during a redirect, and it appears automatically with strict HTTPS enforcement.

In context

Because our domain is on the HSTS preload list, the browser issued an internal 307 to upgrade the request to HTTPS before loading the page.

!

Practical note

Browsers show an internal 307 for HSTS-forced HTTPS, which is expected behavior; for permanent SEO moves still use a 301, not a 307.
