Client-side vs. Server-side

Client-side means that the processing takes place on the user’s computer. It requires browsers to run the scripts on the client machine without involving any processing on the server.

Server-side means that the processing takes place on a web server.

This processing is important to execute the tasks required by the user on the web. Since the client-side script is executed on the client’s computer, it is visible to the client. On the other hand, the server-side script is executed in the server; hence, it is not visible to the users.
