    The rules have changed (at least for Google)

    It used to be 301 Redirection, but Google’s John Mueller announced in February 2016 that it doesn’t matter anymore:

    Do I lose "link juice" from the redirects?

    No, for 301 or 302 redirects from HTTP to HTTPS no PageRank is lost.

    So what should I use?

    Since the SEO doesn’t matter, you should use the HTTP codes as advertised:

    • 301 for permanent redirections

    • 302 for temporarily redirections
