Why doesare R1 and C4 are being connected in parallel to output in the following dimmer circuit?

I'm trying to understand the following dimmer circuit I found from this website:  https://electronoobs.com/eng_circuitos_tut80.php:

Why doesare R1 and C4 are being connected parallel to the Triac? I have read some materials saying such design is being used to smooth the peaks. But won't that shorted the Triac part and always output full acAC wave?

Thanks in advance!
