- A website consists of two components:
- Domain servers have to route to host servers
- Server sends file back
- Browser interprets, requests additional files
- Images/multimedia files
- The Internet Cache
- Temporararily stores files like images, javascripts and stylesheets
- sometimes needs to be emptied to update pages on the user end (really frustrating for designers)
- Hold the shift key when clicking browser refresh
