§ the full brief

Seven stages. DNS to render. Every hop, every header.

The HTTP lifecycle broken down clean — DNS resolution, TCP/TLS handshake, request, server processing, response, browser rendering, and CORS preflight. Plus Cache-Control directives, HTTP methods, status code quick ref, and latency benchmarks.

Vibe edition
Scannable from your desk. Each stage is one block with the details that matter. No wall of text.
What's on it
7 lifecycle stages, Cache-Control directives (no-store through stale-while-revalidate), HTTP methods with safety/idempotent flags, status code quick ref (2xx–5xx), and typical latency benchmarks (DNS through cross-continent).
