🌐 “How the Web Works: From URL to Website”
You type www.mathborn.blogspot.com into a browser — and boom, your site appears. But how?
Let’s break down the invisible magic behind every webpage you see.
🧠 Step-by-Step Breakdown
1. 🔍 You Enter a URL
Example: https://mathborn.blogspot.com
This is not just a string — it's a full instruction:
https = Secure protocol
mathborn.blogspot.com = Domain name
/page.html (optional) = Specific page or route
2. 🧭 DNS Resolution
Your computer asks: “Where is mathborn.blogspot.com?”
It sends a request to a DNS (Domain Name System) server — the internet’s phonebook — and gets back an IP
address, e.g.:
216.58.196.78
This IP tells the browser where to go.
3. 📡 Sending the HTTP/HTTPS Request
Your browser now sends an HTTP request like:
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: mathborn.blogspot.com
This tells the server: “Hey! Send me the homepage!”
If you're logged in or submitting a form, it may use POST instead of GET.
4. 🖥️ Server Response (HTML + CSS + JS)
The server sends:
HTML 🧱
→ the structure
CSS 🎨
→ the style
JavaScript ⚙️ → the functionality
Browser receives this and begins rendering.
5. 🧠 Rendering in the Browser
Your browser parses:
HTML → turns into DOM (Document Object Model)
CSS → applies design to DOM
JS → makes it interactive (animations, buttons, etc.)
You finally see your live site!
💡 Analogy
URL = Name of a shop
DNS = Google Maps
Server = Shopkeeper
HTML/CSS/JS = Items from the shop
Browser = Your eyes
🛠️ Mini Dev Tool Hack
Open any website and press:
🖱️ Right-click → Inspect
Or press Ctrl+Shift+I or F12
You can see:
HTML tags
Applied CSS
Console logs from JS
Network requests and responses
🔐 HTTPS: Why It Matters
HTTPS = Secure version of HTTP
🔒 Encrypts your data
Prevents hackers from snooping
Uses SSL/TLS certificates
Blogspot uses it by default (good job, Google!)
🚧 Bonus: Hosting Your Own Site
Want to host your site like a pro?
1. Buy a domain (e.g. from Namecheap or GoDaddy)
2. Use a host (Netlify, GitHub Pages, Vercel, or Firebase)
3. Connect domain → Done!
Your code becomes world-accessible 🌍
✅ Summary
Every time you load a webpage:
1. Your browser sends a request to a server
2. DNS tells it where to go
3. Server responds with files
4. Browser renders it for you
This is the web pipeline — invisible, but powerful!
