In Liferay DXP, we are redirecting with 302 or 301 depending on different conditions that are hardcoded.

 

For redirections with friendlyURLs of pages, depending on the scenario and from the SEO point of view, 301 could be seen as better than 302, for example if URLs are not changed too often or moved back to old URLs.

 

There are some other aspects to take into consideration as the impact on the customer.

 

The goal of this Epic is to provide a way for customers to decide the type of redirection to perform depending on their scenario/preferences.
