[Yong Wei Lun](https://hashnode.com/@weilun) "A 301 redirect means that the page has permanently moved to a new location. A 302 redirect means that the move is only temporary."

[Catalin Pit](https://hashnode.com/@Catalinpit) I know the definition, in the case of redirection mention in the post, should we use 301 or 302?

[Yong Wei Lun](https://hashnode.com/@weilun) 302 tells search engine not to index it, 301 otherwise. So, basically if you won't be changing your page - like here [Catalin Pit](https://hashnode.com/@Catalinpit) YT channel - you would use 301.

I'm using 302 redirections to always link to the latest post ([blog.cyberethical.me/latest](https://blog.cyberethical.me/latest))

[Kamil Gierach-Pacanek](https://hashnode.com/@Asentinn) I see thanks. How to you make the `latest` link? Mind to share?

[Yong Wei Lun](https://hashnode.com/@weilun) Sure:

As you can see, I've entered the `latest` 302 redirection to the newest article. I have to update it manually - but this is the only place I'm changing it. I have the `latest` link on my Instagram and other social media.
