We visit dozens of websites every day, but rarely think about what happens behind the curtain. Let’s explain this process using a restaurant analogy.
📍 1. Entering the Address
When you type a URL, your computer contacts a DNS (Domain Name System) to translate the domain name into an IP address.
📍 2. The Request
Your browser sends an HTTP Request to the server where the website is hosted. It’s like telling a waiter, "I want the homepage."
📍 3. The Backend (The Kitchen)
The server processes your request. It fetches data from the database, runs the logic, and prepares the "meal" (the data).
📍 4. The Response
The server sends back HTML, CSS, and JS files. Your browser renders these into the visual page you see.
