Web Page Segmentation

Also known as: Page Segmentation, Visual Page Segmentation

The process of dividing a web page into its constituent visual blocks or semantic regions, such as headers, navigation menus, content areas, sidebars, and footers. Segmentation algorithms analyse both the source code (DOM structure) and the visual rendering of pages to identify meaningful groupings. This technique supports accessibility by enabling content reordering, element removal, and structural simplification for users who access web content through assistive technologies.
