Is port triggering and port forwarding required to work together to have a successful connection to any website on the web?

I’m not talking about connecting to a game server or a email server I’m just referring in general to all websites I know what port forwarding is people say It’s optional and my book make it seem like it’s not optional please clear up this confusion So please explain to me In your own words and please no links from google because I already search for weeks using google, explain to me about this in a easy way to understand this more, If you can give me a visual diagram of this like your own illustration or something visual on the web Then I will appreciate that more.

You shouldn't need port forwarding for web site access because the communication is initiated insde the NAT translation. The router has information that it can use to automatically send the response packets to the correct destination. Port forwarding is necessary when the initiator is outside the NAT, like a browser accessing a webcam behind the NAT.
