All HTTP status codes

HTTP 410 Gone

Client Error

The resource existed but was intentionally and permanently removed. Stronger than 404 — clients and crawlers should stop asking.

Defined in RFC 9110

Common causes

  • Deliberately retired content, expired campaigns, deleted accounts

How to fix it

  1. Use it on purpose for permanently removed content (search engines de-index faster than with 404)

  2. If content moved instead, use 301

Related status codes

404 Not Found

The server can't find anything at the requested URL. It says nothing about whether the resource ever existed or will exist.

301 Moved Permanently

The resource has permanently moved to the URL in the Location header. Browsers cache it and search engines transfer ranking signals to the new URL.
