How do circuits work?
> Description: Tor periodically creates virtual circuits through the Tor
network. Once inside a Tor network, circuits allow you to browse
encrypted.
Should we give a little bit more of an explanation here, after "through
the Tor network" say "Circuits are made up of randomly-assigned relays,
which are computers configured to forward Tor traffic" might be a little
too wordy, but that sentence right there answers a good portion of user
questions about relays/circuits.
Also it should be "inside the Tor network" in the second sentence.

I would remove the part about "if the exit relay you are using is" and
replace it with "If you are not able to connect to the website you're
trying to visit, or is not loading properly, then you should try loading a
new circuit" because the user might be like "how do I know if it's my exit
that's the problem?"
Thanks for all your work on this!!
