Server-side includes

Does a page with server-side includes make multiple GET requests to the
webserver (one for the page, one for each server-side include) or is the
request handled by the server all at once and "put together" before
being returned to the client?

It's done completely on the server.

In fact if everything is working properly, you would not even be able to
tell from the browser what part of the content is SSI (you would not see
SSI tags even in "view source").
