Integration

Static Shield + Avada

Coded compatibility profile

Avada (ThemeFusion) bundles its own page builder — Fusion Builder — directly in the theme rather than shipping it as a separate plugin, so theme and builder compatibility are covered together here, the same as Divi. Its shortcode-based page rendering and per-page Dynamic CSS output are both server-rendered with no client hydration, so pages are served static with high confidence. Three optional features bridge back to the server: the Form Builder element (with file uploads), the Search element's live-search mode when enabled, and WooCommerce's own cart-fragments mechanism when Avada is paired with WooCommerce.

Running dynamically

Avada can be resource-heavy at request time. Avada compiles per-page CSS under its own Dynamic CSS setting and renders complex Fusion Builder shortcode markup on every dynamic request — real PHP/DOM overhead beyond plain HTML, in the same range as Divi's.

Served with Static Shield

We expect pages built with Avada to load dramatically faster once served statically — that rendering cost is paid once at publish time, not on every visit.

Recommended mode

Static + Bridges

Static behavior

Fusion Builder shortcode output, the Mega Menu, Off-Canvas panels, sliders (Fusion Slider and bundled LayerSlider), and Dynamic Data field bindings (ACF/post meta) all render complete server-side HTML with no client-side fetch — all served from the static release.

Dynamic behavior

The Fusion Builder editor (front-end and wp-admin) stays behind authentication and was never part of the public surface. Conditional Rendering rules keyed on per-visitor state — login status, device type, or geo — need to be identified and reclassified individually; rules keyed on build-time-fixed facts (dates, specific post IDs, stock state) are static-safe as-is.

Bridges & routes

The Form Builder element submits through admin-ajax.php (the exact action name isn't independently confirmed against primary source) with server-side file storage for uploads. The Search element's optional AJAX live-search mode, when enabled, also bridges through admin-ajax.php. WooCommerce components (mini-cart, etc.) defer to WooCommerce core's own cart-fragments bridge, already covered by the WooCommerce integration.

Setup

No special setup — detected automatically once active.

Limitations

This profile is modeled from ThemeFusion's own documentation plus public Patchstack/Wordfence advisory writeups, not yet verified against a live install — some specifics (the exact Form Builder admin-ajax action name) come from secondary sources and are flagged with lower confidence accordingly. Past Fusion Builder versions have had documented permission-check gaps on specific admin-ajax actions in outdated releases; keeping Avada current is a general hardening step this adapter surfaces rather than something Static Shield can mitigate on its own.
