The World Wide Web or WWW is a hypertext system that uses the Internet in order to access specific locations and content stored there. Negotiating between clients (browsers) and servers, HTTP and HTTPS (Hypertext Transport Protocols) control the transmission of data through accessing locations.
These locations store the information that the browser wants to access – say a website or document. Once clicked, a request is initiated to the server where the info is kept, and assuming there are no restrictions in the way and there is a stable connection, the data is then transmitted to the client.
