                   You first need to enter website address (or URL) in Address bar of the browser.

                   Then the web browser sends a request to a web server.

                   The web server then locates the files and downloads it to your computer.

                   Finally, the web browser displays the home page of that website on your screen.

                 The URL or the web addresses of websites start with http://. The address of some websites
                 such as a bank, e-commerce, etc. start with https://. Here ‘s’ stands for secure which means the
                 website is secured for browsing.
