website address in your browser, several processes happen almost instantly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your device requests the website.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A DNS server translates the domain name into an IP address.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A connection is established with the destination server.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Data is transferred between your device and the server.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The server returns the requested content.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your browser displays the website.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This entire process usually takes only a fraction of a
