Web Components offer reusable, framework-agnostic UI building blocks, but how well do they work with Server-Side Rendering (SSR)? With evolving standards like Declarative Shadow DOM, new possibilities emerge, yet challenges remain. This talk explores strategies, trade-offs, and the future of SSR with Web Components, assessing their viability in enterprise environments.

What are web components? How are they different from React? What are common web component problems? How can we use Enhance to SSR web components to improve them?

React 18 introduces the React Compiler, a powerful tool for optimizing component rendering and enhancing performance.
