ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Zero page

Zero page is like a really special spot in a book where you put all the very important information that you need to look at over and over again without having to flip through all the pages every time.

In a computer's memory, the zero page is like that special spot in the book where the computer puts all the super important information it needs to access quickly and repeatedly.

This area of memory is special because it's easier for the computer to access and it makes things go faster because the computer doesn't have to go searching through all the other pages of memory to find the information it needs. So, the zero page is kind of like a shortcut for the computer, and it helps it work more efficiently!
