When you visit a URL that serves a Phoenix LiveView, the process begins similarly to any HTTP request by initializing a `%Plug.Conn{}` and processing it through a series of plugs. However, for LiveView, the interaction extends beyond this point. The initial HTTP request renders a static HTML page, which includes Javascript to open a websocket connection. This websocket allows for full-duplex communication, enabling real-time updates without refreshes. The LiveView mounts, handles parameters, and renders content again once the websocket connection is established.
