# Avoid JavaScript-based redirects
JavaScript redirects force an additional round-trip after the initial page load, significantly increasing the time users spend waiting for content.
## Quick Reference
- Use 301 or 302 server-side redirects instead of `window.location`
- JS redirects delay page load as the browser must first download and execute the script
- Client-side redirects can negatively impact SEO and indexability
## Check
Check the project for instances where JavaScript is being used for page-level redirects (e.g., window.location).
