What Is Hypertext? How Does It Work?

A hypertext is a text within which includes a connection link. On a website page, if a reader clicks on a word and if it reroutes to a new website page, then it indicates that a user has clicked on a hypertext connection.

When a user tries to access a particular page or file and enters a URL in his Internet browser, the browser then generates an HTTP server and sends it to the URL-specified Internet Protocol Address known as IP Address. The protocol collects data from the server and returns the desired web browser to the customer. A user needs to put HTTP in front of their page address.

Advantages Of HTTP

• HTTP accelerates the transmission of data over a browser database.
• Mapping internet protocol addresses to classify names easily in a more straightforward way has made the World Wide Web financially feasible.

Disadvantages Of HTTP

• HTTP is comparatively slow to most other native protocols.
• A user can be threatened by individual privacy because the user does not encrypt the data sent via HTTP.
