HTTP 307 Temporary Redirect — What It Means & How to Fix It

What Does This Error Mean?

A 307 Temporary Redirect means the page you requested has been temporarily moved to a new address — and your browser should resend your request to that new address in exactly the same way. It works much like a 302 redirect, but with one important technical difference: the type of request your browser used must stay the same. As a regular visitor, you will almost never notice a 307 redirect — your browser handles it completely automatically.

Affected Models

All web browsers
All websites
Login and form submission systems
Websites with temporary maintenance pages

Common Causes

The website is temporarily hosting a page at a different URL than usual
A form submission is being redirected to a processing page
The website is temporarily routing traffic during maintenance or updates
A server is forwarding requests to a backup server during an outage
A login or checkout flow is temporarily directing users through a different path

How to Fix It

In almost all cases, do nothing. Your browser will follow the redirect automatically.

A 307 redirect is invisible to visitors — you simply land on the correct page.
If you are stuck in a redirect loop, clear your browser cache and cookies.

Go to Settings > Privacy > Clear browsing data and clear both cookies and cached files.
Try the page in an incognito or private window to bypass any stored redirect data.

Incognito mode starts with a clean slate and often breaks redirect loops.
If the redirect keeps sending you somewhere unexpected, go directly to the website's homepage.

Navigate from the homepage to find your destination rather than using the redirecting URL.
Do not update bookmarks to the redirected URL — the original address is expected to return to normal.

307 is temporary by definition. Keep your original bookmark.

When to Call a Professional

A 307 is not a problem for regular visitors. Your browser follows it automatically. If you end up in a redirect loop or the destination page is wrong, try the steps below. Website owners should use 307 deliberately for truly temporary redirects where the request method must be preserved.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a 302 and a 307 redirect?

Both are temporary redirects. The difference is technical: a 307 guarantees your browser will resend your request in the same way as the original. A 302 may change the request method (for example from POST to GET). For regular browsing you will not notice any difference between them.

Should I update my bookmarks when I see a 307?

No — a 307 is temporary. The original URL is expected to work normally again in the future. If the redirect becomes permanent, the website should switch to a 308 or 301 response.

Is a 307 redirect a security concern?

On a legitimate website, no. All web redirect codes can theoretically be misused by malicious sites to send you somewhere unexpected. Always check that the final URL in your address bar is the website you intended to visit.
