You need an iframe:

https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_iframe.asp

But beware that sites can tell browsers not to load themselves into
iframes on foreign domains (using an X-Frame-Options header). All recent
browsers adhere to this. If the page you are trying to load returns such
a header, you are out of luck.

You should also be aware that any interaction with the page may be
interrupted by the automatic reload of the parent frame. This approach
is probably only usable for pages you only want to look at. You will
probably even lose your scrolling position inside the iframe when the
parent gets reloaded.
