How does websites work ?
When you visit a website, your browser (like Safari or Google Chrome) makes a request to a web server asking for information about the page you're visiting. It will respond with data that your browser uses to show you the page; a web server is just a dedicated computer somewhere else in the world that handles your requests.
There are two major components that make up a website:
- Front End (Client-Side) — the way your browser renders a website.
- Back End (Server-Side) — a server that processes your request and returns a response.
