INTERNET NETWORK

The internet is a global network connecting computer networks, enabling vast communication,
information access, e-commerce, entertainment, education, and collaboration. We access it
using web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Opera. Websites are located using URLs (web
addresses). HTTP is the protocol for transferring web page data, while HTTPS provides a
secure, encrypted connection. Browsers store temporary website data in a cache to speed up
loading, but clearing it periodically can resolve loading issues and improve
performance.
