HttpGet in ASP.Net MVC: 
and HttpGet method send data to the server using query string. The data which send is visible to URL and it can visible for all the users. It is not secure than HttpPost but it is fast and quick than that. Generally this is used when you are not posting sensitive data to the server like user’s name and password or other personal important information.
