paginaweergave

Paginaweergave is a Dutch term used to describe the way a page is displayed to a user by a software application, most often a web browser or a document viewer. It refers to the rendered appearance of the content, including layout, typography, images and interactive elements, as presented on the screen.

In web contexts, paginaweergave describes the process by which HTML, CSS and JavaScript are transformed into pixels on the device display. Modern browsers use rendering engines to build a DOM, apply styles, compute a layout and paint the final bitmap. This display can vary across devices and screen sizes, which led to responsive web design practices that adapt the paginaweergave through the viewport, CSS media queries and flexible layouts. Accessibility and readability considerations, such as color contrast and font sizing, also influence paginaweergave.

In word processors and document viewers, paginaweergave can refer to different viewing modes, such as a continuous scroll, a single-page view, or a print layout that emulates how pages will appear on paper. Users can switch between modes to prioritize editing, navigation or previewing the final document.

In the context of web analytics, paginaweergave is the measurement of a user loading a page. A page view is counted when the page is requested and displayed, and is a basic unit in metrics such as visits, engagement and bounce rates. Browsers may reuse cached content, but most analytics scripts register a new paginaweergave when a page loads or is reloaded.
