I'm very excited about web components. One thing that I don't understand yet is how server side pre rendering works in these situations. Basically the elements need to be downloaded before the browser can render anything, which will delay the page in it time. I guess if everyone was using the CDN then these components would be cached for multiple applications. But they would still need to be initialized and render themselves on each page load,which could take long for complex components.

I'm no expert here, but Stencil is capable of SSR [1]. I believe you'd need to install Shoelace locally and tweak a few configs to get it working, though.
