What do you mean by a page?
When you click a link you are taken to another HTML document (page). A web site. like this one, consists of many web documents. This forum document is assembled from a database of many comments into many pages. It is settable by the forum software. Usually the number of comments that are displayed at once is 20 or so. Then you can select the next or previous page. If you save a given document when you are viewing it you will get a sense of what a web page is.
