Which HTTP status code indicates that a requested resource has been permanently moved to a new URI?

Accepted Answer

The 301 status code is the standard response for permanent redirects, signaling to search engines and browsers that the original URL should be updated to the new location. While 308 also indicates a permanent redirect, it is a newer specification that strictly forbids changing the HTTP method from POST to GET, whereas 301 is the traditional, widely supported standard for permanent moves.
