The Window interface represents a window containing a DOM document; the document property points to the DOM document loaded in that window.
Document API
The Document interface represents any web page loaded in the browser and serves as an entry point into the web page’s content, which is the DOM tree.

The setTimeout() method calls a function after a number of milliseconds. Her calling function is a function to trigger the website reload
History API
The DOM Window object provides access to the browser's session history through the history object. It exposes practical methods and attributes that enable you to traverse the user's history in reverse and control the information in the history stack.

Meta tags are specialized text and image content that serve as a webpage's summary. When someone shares a link on social media, in messaging, or in your company chat software, meta-tag information frequently appears.
