What Really Happens When You Open a Website? 🌐 #shorts #web

You type a URL into your browser, press Enter, and a website appears in seconds. But what actually happens in the background? 🤯 Your browser has to perform several steps before that webpage can appear. First, the browser figures out where the domain points to using DNS. Then it establishes a connection with the server, typically using TCP and TLS for HTTPS connections. After that, it sends an HTTP request to the server. The server processes the request and sends back a response containing the resources needed to load the webpage. Your browser then parses those resources, builds the page, and finally renders what you see on your screen. In this Short, we'll break down the journey of a URL from your browser to the server and back, in a simple beginner-friendly way.
