webpage

Digital reading surface

A webpage is a single document on the internet, viewable through a browser.

Websites consist of multiple webpages linked together.

The term emerged in the 1990s as the World Wide Web developed, though *page* now often suffices: I bookmarked the page.

Also spelled as two words: web page.
