You just performed a hard restart. This is something that should be done periodically to allow the device to reallocate stored data on your device and run more efficiently. This should also be done on an iPhone as well. Years ago when I made my first Apple purchases, Apple recommended doing this. I restart my iPad every couple months or so as I use it constantly and my iPhone monthly. I knock on wood as I say this, but I never have problems. My last iPad was with me about 7 years and I sold it last year when I bit the bullet and bought an updated one that would better suit my demands.
