When a client submits a request for a page to a server, it starts a flow of information that concludes in the
transmission of HTML (Hypertext Markup Language); the steps to obtain an answer from the server are
as follows:
The Internet browser receives from the user an HTTP address of the desired resource. This
address can be directly inserted or be a hyperlink in an existing page.
The user agent submits the desired URI (Unified Resource Identifier) along with other
information over the Internet connection; the request is sent from sever to server until it reaches
the machine that can address the correct response.
The server processes the request and sends a response containing the HTML code.
The browser begins to receive the HTML code and starts the rendering process as soon as it
receives an entire block of information. A block can be a paragraph, an image reference, or a
table. That piece of code is interpreted and transformed into a visual representation. This is the
reason why sometimes pages seem to compose one piece at the time when the transmission is
not particularly efficient or the page content is quite heavy.
