How to approach it
The interviewer wants to see whether you understand the whole chain from typing a URL to rendering the page: DNS, TCP, TLS, HTTP, server-side processing and the browser loading resources. What matters is the sequence and being able to say what happens at each step, not depth in one spot.
The interviewer will ask this question and listen. Think out loud and ask for a hint if you need one. When you're done, pause or tap “That's my answer”. In about a minute, your score and the points you covered show up here.
