3xx Redirection
308 Permanent Redirect

The page has permanently moved, and the request method must not change.

What it means

A 308 Permanent Redirect is similar to a 301, but the client must preserve the original HTTP method when following the redirect. Use 308 when you have a permanent move and need to make sure that POST requests stay as POST requests.

Common causes

  • A permanent URL change is in effect that needs to preserve the original HTTP method.
  • An API endpoint was permanently moved.

How to fix it

  • Update any links or API integrations to point directly to the new URL.
