Web Page Loading Process Explained

When entering a URL into a browser, the browser first looks up the domain name's IP address from DNS. It then sends an HTTP request to the server at that IP address. The server responds with an HTTP response containing HTML and other resources like images and CSS. As the browser receives each resource, it renders the page until fully loaded.

While entering www.google.

com or any other link on the

browser then what would be the background processes.


 Every single URL on the internet has a unique IP address assigned to it.

The IP address belongs to the computer which hosts the server of the

website we are requesting to access. For an example, www.google.com has

an IP address of 209.85.227.104. So if you’d like you can reach

www.google.com by typing http://209.85.227.104 on your browser. DNS is

a list of URLs and their IP addresses just like how a phone book is a list of

names and their corresponding phone numbers.

 This is how I would explain it:

 You enter a URL into a web browser

 The browser looks up the IP address for the domain name via DNS

 The browser sends a HTTP request to the server

 The server sends back a HTTP response

 The browser begins rendering the HTML

 The browser sends requests for additional objects embedded in

HTML (images, css, JavaScript) and repeats steps 3-5.

 Once the page is loaded, the browser sends further async requests

as needed.
 When you type “https://wsvincent.com” into your browser the first thing

that happens is a Domain Name Server (DNS) matches “wsvincent.com” to

an IP address. Then the browser sends an HTTP request to the server and

the server sends back an HTTP response. The browser begins rendering

the HTML on the page while also requesting any additional resources such

as CSS, JavaScript, images, etc. Each subsequent request completes a

request/response cycle and is rendered in turn by the browser. Then once

the page is loaded some sites (though not mine) will make further

asynchronous requests.
