Java and Python would be my recommendations for a first language to learn (Java especially, I don't know Python enough to say which of the two is better).

not sure if it would complicate things too quickly, but I suspect it might be a good idea to learn about the stack and the heap and how they work right away. what makes programming hard when you're learning is that there's always a sort of "invisible ambient context" in the background, and if you have no understanding or awareness of it, it makes it very hard to reason about what you're doing.

easiest to start with webpage stack: HTML, CSS, Javascript

I could be wrong but my gut instinct is that JavaScript is easily among the worst languages to learn first. it's a nightmare of a language when you don't already know how to program. you should master a sane language first.
