Gone
⚠️ Client Error
Low Risk
📖 What Is HTTP 410?
The resource is permanently gone and will not be available again. Unlike 404, this explicitly indicates the resource once existed but has been intentionally removed.
🛡️ Security Implications
Use 410 instead of 404 for intentionally removed content to signal search engines to deindex the URL permanently.
🔍 Common Causes
Resource permanently deleted, API version deprecated and removed, user account permanently closed.
🔧 How to Fix
Remove links to the resource. Search engines will deindex 410 URLs faster than 404s. Use for GDPR right-to-erasure compliance.
