Web Page

A web page is a single document that a browser can display, usually an HTML document plus the resources it depends on. It is smaller in scope than a website, which is a collection of related pages and assets grouped together under one broader identity.

This distinction is simple but important. People often say "website" when they mean one page, and that blur makes later explanations harder to follow. A site may contain many pages with different paths and purposes. A page is one destination within that larger structure.

Pages also help explain the request chain of ordinary browsing. A browser requests one page first, often the homepage or whatever URL the user entered directly. Once that initial page arrives, the browser may discover it also needs images, stylesheets, scripts, or other assets before the result can be rendered completely.

Hyperlinks make pages powerful because they let one page point directly to another. That is what turns isolated documents into the web's larger navigable structure.
