User Agent

A User-Agent is a string of text sent by a web browser or application to a website, identifying itself and providing information about the device, operating system, and browser being used. This allows the website to deliver tailored content or functionality suitable for that specific setup. For example, a site may display a different layout on a mobile device compared to a desktop. Understanding the User-Agent helps improve the user experience by ensuring that users receive the most appropriate version of the website based on their device and browser capabilities.
