The client-server model is a distribution application that divides tasks or workloads between the providers of a resource or service, called servers, and service requesters or clients.
When a user tries to access a webpage, the user's device (usually web browser) serves as the client. It sends a request over the internet to the server where the website is stored.
The server processes this request and if the webpage is available, the server sends the data of the webpage back to the client.
The client's web browser then uses this data to build the webpage, which becomes viewable to the user. This entire process happens within milliseconds which makes web browsing fast and efficient.
This model allows for centralization of data and functionality, making it easier to manage and update content, optimizes the network bandwidth, and allows different clients (cross-platform) to access the same server. It also allows for a large number of users to access the same webpage simultaneously from the server.
