The Page_Load event fires whenever the Page is requested. I believe that by
"the page gets a response from the server" you are referring to a PostBack.
The Page doesn't get a response from the server. The browser does, every
time it requests a Page. But the Page_Load event fires with each response,
not just the initial (non-PostBack) response.
