Site (website, Internet site) — one or more pages linked to each other, located on the Internet and accessible by a unique address. Pages can contain text, images, audio files, video files and other documents. The site consists of program code HTML and CSS.
How the site works
Several tools must be observed for the site to work.
The user on a personal computer using a browser program enters into the address bar a unique address of the site, its domain name. The browser accesses global servers on the Internet, which in turn determine the IP address of the server where the site is located and directs the user’s browser to it. The server in turn sends the program code of the site in the form of HTML and CSS code through the Internet to the user’s browser. The user’s browser processes the program code and generates a visual page from it.
This is how the user interacts with the site.
