Is the word site the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word "site" is used identically in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese to refer to a website. There are no differences in spelling, meaning, or grammatical function. The only distinction lies in pronunciation:

• In Brazil, the "t" is often palatalized before the final vowel sound, leading many Brazilians to pronounce it similarly to "sái-chi."
• In Portugal, the pronunciation is usually more clipped and closer to the original English, sounding more like "sait."
