It's a nonsensical term for components with predefined markup and no Shadow DOM

So essentially what partials in a template or server-side include solve.

That's the only "build-like" part of my current website, but I'd much rather manage this beforehand and serve static HTML, or run a server-side process than use JS/HTML web components at runtime.

JS/HTML web components are the static HTML –

``` <marker-of-dynamic-behavior> {your standard static html} </marker-of-dynamic-behavior> ```

This is just a better way of doing DOM scripting, enhancing without waiting for Document Ready event, and having more freedom when to load the dynamic bits.

They still rely on JS to instantiate though unless I've misinterpreted?

the point of them is that you are providing full proper HTML and CSS so client-side stuff kicks in only when it can and needs to be kicked in.

All web components are rendered eagerly, so it kicks in immediately the moment it appears on the page.
