                     •  Internet bots and viruses account for 62% of all website traffic, or roughly two-thirds.
                     •  Approximately 1.7 trillion euro dollars are spent on the internet.
                     •  It takes approximately 2 billion electrons to create an email.
                     •  Every year, online dating generates about $1 billion in revenue.




                 1.9 WEB ARCHITECTURE
              Web architecture can be defined as the internet’s conceptual framework. The World Wide Web, or the internet, is a
              dynamic medium that allows users to communicate with one another as well as technical interaction between different
              systems and subsystems. Data transmission protocols (TCP/IP, HTTP, HTTPS), representation formats (HTML, CSS, XML),
              and addressing standards are the three main components of the internet’s infrastructure (URI, URL). Some of the main
              components that make up Web Architecture are as follows:

              Ð ÐClient: The client is the web browser or application a user employs to interact with a server. It sends requests
                 for content and receives responses to display to the user. This process enables users to access online resources
                 seamlessly.

              Ð ÐServer: A server hosts websites and web applications, processing requests from clients. It retrieves data and delivers
                 the appropriate responses. Servers can manage multiple sites simultaneously, optimizing resource usage.
               ÐNetwork:  The  network  connects  clients  and  servers,  facilitating  communication  between  them.  It  comprises
              Ð
                 routers, switches, and cables that transmit data packets. Network efficiency significantly affects the performance
                 of web applications.

              Ð ÐDatabase:  The  database  stores  and  organises  data  for  websites  and  applications.  It  manages  various  types  of
                 information and provides it upon server requests. Modern databases can efficiently handle large volumes of data
                 and complex queries.
              Ð ÐWebsite or Web Application Structure: The website or web application structure encompasses how the site is
                 organized and arranged, including its layout and navigation. This structure affects user experience by guiding users
                 through the content. A well-designed structure enhances accessibility and engagement, making it easier for users
                 to find information.

              Origin

              The  World  Wide  Web  (WWW)  is  a  concept  that  was  developed  in  the  1990s  to  allow  people  and  machines  to
              communicate within a defined area. It is used to exchange, transmit, and share data in a network. Let us understand
              its journey from the following figure as given below:

              Types of Web Architecture
              There are mainly four types of web architectures which as follows:
