Use 301 or 302 redirects?

    A 301 redirect is being cached in the browser of the visitor. Thus when I change the Destination URL the same visitor will not get the new link when clicked on it is that right?

    So when you want to change the affiliate link later it is better to use 302 redirects, is that correct?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @stylingdesigins,

    You are correct, modern browsers do cache 301 redirects, for how long I’m not 100% sure.

    A 302 or 307 redirect will not be cached by the browser. If you’re concerned about it, and especially if you have links that change frequently, you should use 302 or 307.

    Great question and I hope this helps!
