Questions
What is the difference between a 301 and a 302 redirect?
A 301 is permanent and passes the old URL's signals to the new one. A 302 is temporary. Use 301 (or 308) when a page has moved for good.
How many redirects are too many?
One is normal. Two or more in a row is a chain; it slows visitors and crawlers down. Update links to point straight to the final URL.
