The first page displayed by Web browser after opening a Web site is called
- (a)Home page
- (b)Browser page
- (c)Search page
- (d)Bookmark
Correct — A, Home page. The home page is the first (default) page a web browser displays when you open a website — the site's main entry or landing page, from which the rest of the site is navigated.
- (b)Browser page — Not a standard term. A browser is the software (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) used to view pages — not the name of a site's first page.
- (c)Search page — A search page is where you type a query (e.g., a search engine's page); it is not, in general, the first page shown when you open a website.
- (d)Bookmark — A bookmark is a saved shortcut/link to a page so you can return to it later — not the first page a site opens to.
Basic web navigation: a web browser (client software) requests a website and renders its default page first. That default page is the home page (also called the landing or main page). It is the starting point from which hyperlinks lead to the rest of the site.
'Search page' is tempting because many people set their browser to open at a search engine, so the first thing they see is a search box. But the question is about the first page of a website itself — its home page. Note 'home page' and 'homepage' mean the same thing.
- Home page = the default/first page a website opens to.
- A web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) is the software that requests and displays pages.
- Also called the site's landing or main page (often the index page).
- A bookmark merely stores a link to any page for quick return.
The first page a browser shows on opening a website is its home page.
- Choosing 'Search page' because a browser often opens to a search engine
- Confusing a bookmark (a saved link) with the first page of a site
Asked as a plain definition of basic web terms. Lock: home page = a site's first/default page; browser = the software that displays it.
