I've been wanting to create a similar post with all the details you beautifully provided in your diagram. This is amazing, I see no point writing a second post. I appreciate the time and effort you put into this. Thank you.

The GET part is incorrect, that would be a proxy request. Also glossed over that it take many more than 1 request to get all these elements.

The great thing non mentioned in the infographics is that all the technology involved at each step is free, non-proprietary and accessible to everyone. I don't know if there is any patent involved either.

Did you create this diagram? In the top left, it says @manekimekko or something, but it's hard to read, and I'm trying to find the original author.

I'm an the original author. @manekinekko is my Twitter handle. How can I help?

OK great work. I just saw that it's being shared everywhere, but people don't mention the original author. I'd like to share it too, and now I can link back to your page. Thanks!
