Reminded once again why you should never use 301/308 permanent redirects after spending yonks trying to clear one for Firefox after testing on localhost.

Hint: Checking the Disable Cache checkbox under Network did the trick.

(Stick to 307s and you’ll lead a happier life. Nothing in software dev is permanent. Future you will thank you later. And the first person who replies “buh, seo!” will get a swift telling off.) :)

@aral unfortunately, the SEO hit is unbearable sometimes.

It may not impact your sector too much, but there are some where it would be unacceptable.

source: Been bitten by the 301 crap before, but also have seen SEO being wrecked causing a double digit drop in traffic

boxofsnoo,

@aral I was gonna ask you”why not 302?” But then I looked it up. TIL.

But I feel your pain, been there.
