DOM
FrontendThe browser’s live model of the page.
The structure the browser builds from your HTML and then keeps in memory. JavaScript changes the page by changing the DOM. What you see in the elements inspector is the DOM, not your original HTML.

HTML
FrontendThe structure and meaning of a page.
Declares what things are: a heading, a button, a list. Content that lives in the HTML is visible to search engines, screen readers, and slow connections; content built later by JavaScript is not, until it runs.
Rendering
FrontendTurning content into pixels.
The browser converting HTML, CSS and JavaScript into a visible page. Server-side rendering does the first pass on the server so content exists in the HTML immediately rather than after scripts run.
