Very instructive don’t you think?\u00a0 Kudos for Kamran Ahmed @kamranahmedse\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the technical terms defined as simple as possible:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DNS<\/strong>  – Domain Name System: In very simple terms, it translates domain names like www.example.com<\/a> to a number like 93.184.216.34 that corresponds with a computer on the internet somewhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CACHE<\/strong> – a holding area in computer memory where often- or most-recently used things are quickly available .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ROUTER<\/strong>  – A router is hardware used to connect two or more computers to each other, and usually to the Internet, by wire or sometimes radio signals (like Wi-Fi).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TCP<\/strong> – Transmission Control Protocol. This is the protocol that the Internet uses to transport data packets from one computer to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HTTP<\/strong> – Hypertext Transfer Protocol is the way data gets sent and received in the World Wide Web, where hypertext documents include links to other resources that you can easily access with a click.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SYN\/ACK<\/strong> – How two computers on the internet start talking to each other using TCP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HTML<\/strong> – Hyper Text Markup Language, how webpages are being painted on the screen of your browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CSS – <\/strong> Cascading Style Sheets describe how the webpage you just pulled up should look like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JS<\/strong> – JavaScript, a programming language that helps build the webpage on your browser screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tokenizer<\/strong> – a tokenizer helps building your webpage by recognizing incoming data by looking for whitespace like tabs, spaces, and new lines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DOM TREE and CSSOM Tree<\/strong> – You may know that HTML is actually a bunch of text tags like <head> or <body>. To paint a webpage, these tags are organized in trees so that they can easily be painted on the screen, which is called rendering<\/strong>. Here is an example of one of those trees. And that his is all you need to know for the moment! <\/em> WHEW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, pretty complicated stuff that goes on under the hood. Lots of stuff can fall over. Turning the system off and back on often solves a lot of issues.  \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n\n
