HTTP 410 Gone

What HTTP 410 means

410 is a permanent, intentional 404. It tells clients to delete their links and search engines to drop the page from their index, which Google does faster than for a 404. Use it for deleted products, expired offers and retired API versions.

Retrying

No. Fix the request first; sending it again unchanged will get the same response.

Example response

HTTP/1.1 410 Gone
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2026 10:30:00 GMT
