title: 301 status redirect code
body: <p>I'm a novice with a wordpress website. I ran it through a seo checker and was told that my site has a 302 code rather than a 200 code, and that this is a critical error.</p>
  
  <p>After googling I found an article instructing me to go to the the .htaccess file.</p>
  
  <p>I opened the file, and found below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Options -Indexes
  
  
  # BEGIN WordPress
  &lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt;
  RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
  
  # uploaded files
  RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+)  wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
  
  # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
  RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
  
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
  RewriteRule ^ - [L]
  RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
  RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*.php)$ $2 [L]
  RewriteRule . index.php [L]
  &lt;/IfModule&gt;
  # END WordPress
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Should I just delete the link with the 301 code or change to 200?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for any assistance or insight. I hope the question makes sense.</p>
