Single-page apps.
A one-page app runs entirely in the browser and doesn’t require you to load a page. For example, when accessing an email app, the headers and sidebars will remain untouched when you log into your inbox.

Multi-page applications
A web application that contains multiple pages and reloads the entire page when the user navigates to another page is called a multi-page application.
For example, when you log into Amazon to buy a cell phone, you need to click on a particular cell phone, once you add the phone to the cart and click the next button, the web app will redirect you to the next page, then you need to click on the “Buy” button and redirect again to a short page to complete the order.
