What happens when you open a website?

When we open a website, many things happen in the background, even though we don’t see it.

First, we type the website name in the browser. Then the browser tries to find where that website is stored. It does this by asking something called DNS (Domain Name System).

After getting the address, the browser sends a request to the server where the website is stored. The server then sends back the website data. Finally, the browser shows the page on our screen.
