    Answer: Store and deliver web content to clients over HTTP/HTTPS

    A web server receives HTTP requests from clients (browsers) and responds by delivering requested files — HTML, CSS, images, etc.

  3. Which protocol is used by web browsers to securely request and receive web pages?

    Answer: HTTPS

    HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure) encrypts communication between browser and server using TLS, protecting data in transit.

  4. What is a Content Delivery Network (CDN) primarily used for?

    Answer: Distribute web content from geographically dispersed servers to reduce latency

    A CDN caches and serves static assets from servers geographically close to the end user, reducing load times and server load.

  5. What is the function of DNS (Domain Name System)?
