Let's discuss the process of searching for information on the Internet. What happens during that specific moment?

When a person tries to access a website, several steps occur behind the scenes to facilitate communication between the client (the user's device) and the server (where the website is hosted).

Here's a simplified overview of the process:

1. When a user enters a URL (such as https://www.example.com) into their web browser and hits enter, the browser sends a request to the server associated with that domain;
2. The server receives the request from the client. It then processes the request to determine which web page or resource the client is asking for;
3. The server performs various tasks to handle the request. This may involve retrieving static files directly from its file system or generating dynamic content based on the request;
4. Once the server has processed the request and gathered the necessary resources, it will respond to the client. This response typically includes the requested web page or resource;
5. The client (web browser) receives the response from the server. It then processes the response to render the web page or resource for the user to see;
6. The browser parses the received files, renders the page layout, and fetches additional resources;
7. Once all the necessary resources have been fetched and the web page has been fully rendered, the browser displays the web page to the user.

Finally, 🥳 the user can interact with the content, click on links, fill out forms, and perform other actions as needed.
