Where should I practice after completing HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript, DOM and a little bit of jQuery?

How about other CSS frameworks? Bulma, material design, Tailwind
jQuery is an odd choice these days as there are relatively few new projects using it, although there is a literal mountain of legacy code in both public facing sites and in-house business apps. Perhaps look at converting jQuery sites to React, Vue or Angular
Or look at how you talk to backend services and learn some node/deno/bun if you want to stay in js, or Python if you want a multi-tool language.
Learn how to use and deploy services in the cloud. AWS or Azure seem the most popular, but niching down to GCP or something like Digital Ocean may may be more profitable
You also need to know GIT inside out.
Try soft skills like presenting, requirements gathering, project management etc

Sorry. I read that as WHAT should I practice.
If you have your own computer then install VSCode and practice on your own computer. Think about a problem you would like to solve. Some suggestions that are more than just a todo list:
Soduko solver,
typing speed test,
cricket scoring app,
squash ladder managment
Poker tournament manager

If you can't install anything on your own computer than online services like CodePen are pretty good for writing and running test code.
If you want more learning resources then anything by Max Schwartzmuller on Udemy, CodeAcademy or You Tube is pretty good. If you want Certifications then EdEx also have some good courses that are free, but you pay if you want a certificate at the end.

If you just want more regular information and to stay up to date on what is happening in the world of Web develoment then I would pick up some podcasts. I listen to Syntax FM, Javascript Jabber and .Net Rocks
