When you type a URL and press enter, a series of events occur behind the scenes to transform the URL into a fully interactive React app.
The process involves steps like URL parsing, DNS resolution, establishing a secure connection, HTTP request, server processing the request, receiving an HTTP response, parsing HTML to kick off React, and JavaScript execution for page interactivity.
React plays a crucial role in rendering components, handling client-side routing through React Router, and enabling server-side rendering for improved performance and user interactivity.
The entire process, from URL input to a fully rendered webpage, typically happens within milliseconds to a few seconds, showcasing the efficiency of networking protocols, browser optimizations, and server infrastructure.
