410Gone

This resource existed, was deliberately removed, and is not coming back. Stop asking for it.

When you see it

A stronger statement than 404. Where 404 says nothing is here, 410 says something was here and its removal is permanent and intentional.

The practical benefit is speed of de-indexing: search engines drop a 410 faster than a 404, because a 404 leaves open the possibility that the page returns. If you have deliberately retired content and want it out of search results, 410 is the right code.

Often confused with

404 Not Found

404 is uncertain, 410 is final. Use 404 when you do not know whether the URL was ever valid, and 410 when you know you removed it on purpose.
