Webpage

A webpage is a document written in HTML and can be viewed on any web browser. It is contained within the web server, which can be accessed by entering the URL for that web page, and once it is loaded, it appears on the user's web browser. Each webpage is linked with a unique URL; hence two pages cannot have the same URL.

 

 

 

A webpage may contain text, links for other pages, graphics, videos, etc. Moreover, it is mainly used to provide information to the user in text, images, etc.

A webpage is a part of a website; it means a website contains different web pages. Such as mybcaclassnotes.blogpsot.com is a website, and the page currently you are accessing is the webpage. It can be understood as an example of a book. So, a Website is like a complete book, and a webpage is like a page of that book.

Tim Berners-Lee developed the first webpage.
