Get the jargon out of the way and grasp an understanding of the 'Big Picture'

Follow the journey of a web request, from your click to your reading the content you asked for.

HOWTO use it

  • hover on a word to get a short definition
  • hover over a number to see what happens at this step
  • on mobile, touching instead of clicking ;)

You can help!

Why?
