Web browsers were developed in a time when the content they displayed was expected to be articles that would be updated only when the author decided to upload a new file. This kind of content is referred to as static content.

When navigating Full Page Static Content Web Applications, users were expected to follow hyperlinks around the internet reading the information they needed and possibly using the back button to review things they already looked at. Every page visited was designed to stand alone and therefore necessitated a full page refresh every time it was displayed. At the time, no one imagined accessing one's bank account or running a word processor through a web browser.

Use of web browsers has evolved to a great deal since then, and applications serving dynamic content to browsers are common. Yet, most of these applications, even though they render content specific to the user and the user's bank account etc., still utilize a full page refresh to update the page.

Contrary to static web pages, pages in a dynamic web application require coordination of information between them. In order to persist information between full page refreshes in a web application, developers have to maintain memory objects on the server and send and retrieve information from the browser with each web page navigation. This way of doing things not only creates a lot of traffic but also makes developing web applications complicated and expensive. It also degrades the user experience by making them wait for everything to be refreshed even when they have only made tiny changes to the page.

WebRocketX eliminates the need for full page refresh by leveraging Ajax and dynamic HTML inclusion to pull in content without leaving the page. Trips to the server send and retrieve much less information, and are also simpler because the purpose of these trips can be much more targeted. The user experience is enhanced and the cost of development is greatly decreased.

WebRocketX is not just for dynamic website development. Single Page Static Website (SPSW) development is also supported, which results in a much faster static website and eliminates the tedium of maintaining duplicate content such as headers and and footers in multiple pages. Previously, including templates in pages required server side technology such as PHP, and WordPress. Now everything can once again be done on the client and the Webserver can simply just be a source of files.
