'die Website' and 'die Site' usually mean the same thing: a whole internet presence under one address. 'Website' is very common in German and is the safer choice for learners. 'Site' is shorter and appears especially in technical or professional conversations. The words are easy to confuse because they can refer to the same content. The important thing is: both mean the whole internet presence, not just a single page.
