>If you have to run javascript it is not a static page anymore. I've seen a lot of this particularly weird overloading of "static HTML" lately. Static HTML, or static webpage, is meant to describe the experience from the person who is trying to look at the page. It does not describe the experience of the dev.
I don't think this has been the common meaning of "static page" for at least 10 years.
From Wikipedia [0]:
>A static web page (sometimes called a flat page or a stationary page) is a web page that is delivered to the user's web browser exactly as stored
Static refers to the fact the files are served without any application-level processing on the server side beyond simple file serving. A page can depend on CSS/JS/WASM and still be a static page.
