    Hi,

    404 = page not found (example: someone tried to visit http://www.your_site.com/abcde123.html that does not exist in your website).

    302 = page is temporarily replaced by a page at another address. As you do not know what this is, the temporary redirections in your website come from the internal operation of your software platform (CMS, forum, blog,...).

    At this time, don't worry about the 302's. Regarding the 404's, look at the detailed report listing the addresses that return this code. If links to these pages exist somewhere in your website, remove or correct these links.
