if you can recommend a good source for learning the browser rendering pipeline please post it here, everyone I have asked just shrugs it off and says that no one really knows.

The Navigation Timing spec is good for building an understanding of the major events that go into a page loading and creating HTML elements[3]. It's not the whole picture but gives the timings for navigation and DOM element events.
