The HTML document is the primary resource that describes the structure and content of a web page.
A complete web document is assembled from multiple resources requested by the browser through HTTP. The browser first fetches the main HTML document, then parses it and sends additional requests for stylesheets that control layout, scripts that provide behavior, images, videos, and other embedded content. These separate resources are combined by the browser to display the final web page. Scripts can request further resources after the initial page loads, allowing the browser to update the document dynamically. HTTP supports retrieving these resources from servers, proxies, caches, or multiple server components, while features such as caching, authentication, cookies, and cross-origin controls help manage how resources are delivered and used.
