#Google on 307 / HSTS redirects

 #Google on 307 / HSTS redirects (HTTP to HTTPS)

HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) is a standard, defined in RFC 6797, by which a web server can declare to a client that it should only be accessible via HTTPS.
An HSTS redirect can be used to force browsers to visit the HTTPS version of a page.
These types of redirects can be useful in cases where someone is linking to an HTTP URL instead of an HTTPS URL.
When the link is clicked, the HSTS / 307 redirect will ensure that the visitor lands on the HTTPS URL.
If a site owner uses the URL inspection tool on a page with HSTS, they will see that they have a 307 redirect in place.
This is not a real redirect as only browsers are able to see a 307; it doesn't mean anything to Googlebot.
When #Googlebot crawls an HTTP page with HSTS, it will not be redirected to the HTTPS version like a browser would.
Of course, this only works if the HTTPS URLs are indexed and crawlable. HSTS is not a link discovery tool.
If you're migrating from HTTP to HTTPS, for example, HSTS won't help Google discover your new links. For this, you will need to use a good 301 redirect.
HSTS is an optional tool that is used in conjunction with a real redirect to be absolutely sure that users land on secure pages.
