How does QGIS work with a WMS server?
What usually happens is that you have vector layers, which QGIS renders as a map. But using a WMS, those vector layers are on the WMS server, which renders it as a map and sends that map to you as an image. QGIS can display this image, but can’t change its symbology, because all that is handled on the server.
Which is better qgis2web or OpenLayers or leaflet?
The qgis2web plugin has many limitations and it cannot do everything that the powerful web mapping libraries OpenLayers and Leaflet can do. This process can act as the starting point in your web mapping process and save you valuable time by creating a basic template from which you can further customize the web map.
