HTTP/3 / QUICStep 1 of 6

The user enters a URL or clicks a link. The browser normalizes the URL, checks its internal cache and preloaded HSTS list, and prepares the network request.

  • HSTS Cache Lookup: Ensures encrypted HTTPS connection
  • Local DNS Cache Check: Inspects chrome://net-internals/#dns

Core Language Execution Models

How Code Actually Runs: V8, PVM, JVM, C & Rust

Every language has a distinct execution architecture. Step through the JavaScript Event Loop, Python Virtual Machine, Java Bytecode, and C compile/link pipelines.
