: Do search engines look at the contents of custom HTML elements? Given the following HTML: <my-custom-tag> <a href="some-page.html">Some page</a> <a href="other.html">Other</a>

Given the following HTML:

<my-custom-tag>
<a href="some-page.html">Some page</a>
<a href="other.html">Other</a>
</my-custom-tag>


How do search engines typically parse tags like this? Is it typical practice to walk into custom tags like this one and parse the recognized one's like anchor's, or will it completely skip over the custom element and not find the anchor's?

Web components are already being used and it would be nice to have some clarification on how to properly utilize them without sacrificing SEO optimizations.
