A website is a set of pages or files that are located under a single domain name. It is a collection of pages linked together, including references to other resources that are available under a single domain. Each page of the site contains direct links that allow the user to navigate from one website page to another quickly. A site can consist of one page or multiple pages, each of which is a text file or a set of pages written in a particular markup or programming language. Websites can be either single pages or many pages connected through various links. For example, YouTube can choose a unique algorithm for each user based on clicking on multiple connections. A website consists of many files: text content, code, styles, media content, and others.
To display the content of the website, several types of files are used, which are responsible for processing the signal and exchanging information between the client and the server. First of all, the client sends a request for HTML files, which contain links to CSS stylesheets, JavaScript files, and script elements (How the Web works, 2021). These files are code files and ensure the operation of the website and the display of content. The combination of these files provides the construction of an in-memory DOM tree, which leads to the construction of the page content. In turn, it consists of graphic, text, sound, or video files.
