Technical Glossary

Here you can find important tech terms and definitions, explained in a simple and clear way.

Backend

The Backend is the technical foundation that powers the website's functionality. It includes the server, the database (where data is stored), and the application logic that processes requests. While Webflow handles much of the complexity, integrating external services or custom web applications (like user authentication or complex database querying) requires custom Backend solutions.

Asset Optimization

This technical process ensures that a website's media files (Assets) are as small as possible without sacrificing visual quality, leading to faster loading times. Techniques include: Image compression, lazy loading, and minification.

Accessibility

Accessibility refers to removing barriers that prevent people with disabilities from interacting with a website. This includes users with visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor impairments. Adherence to web accessibility relies on meeting the standards set by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

API (Application Programming Interface)

An API acts as a middleman, defining the methods and data formats that different programs can use to request and exchange information. When your website needs to talk to a separate service (like your CRM, a payment gateway, or a third-party analytics tool), it uses an API.
