You're welcome.

To determine the time zone that a website is using, you can follow these steps:

1. Look for any indication of the website's location or time zone information. This is typically found in the website's footer, contact page, or terms and conditions. Many websites also include a disclaimer stating the time zone they use.

2. If you cannot find any explicit information, you can try to deduce the time zone based on the content or target audience of the website. For example, if the website primarily serves customers in the United States, it is likely to use Eastern, Central, Mountain, or Pacific time zones.

3. Additionally, you can use the provided context to further determine the time zone. In your case, since the website displays a time that is exactly 3 hours ahead of your current time, it is likely using the Eastern Standard Time (EST) or Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) time zone. This suggests that the website might be using Eastern Time (ET).

However, it is important to note that these are general guidelines, and not all websites follow them. Some websites may have a global audience and display time based on the user's location or preferential settings.
