Kadence ships no page-building layer of its own — the visual builder, Kadence Blocks, is a separately installed plugin (Gutenberg-based) that would carry its own adapter, as would the premium Kadence Pro and Kadence Blocks Pro addons. Kadence's own theme layer adds a sticky header and a WooCommerce header cart icon on top of core WordPress/WooCommerce behavior.
Static + Bridges
Every template file renders plain server-side HTML, and the sticky header is a client-side scroll-position class toggle with no server round-trip.
The WooCommerce header cart icon needs a live request each time its count refreshes; everything else on the page is static.
WooCommerce core's own cart-fragments endpoint (wc-ajax=get_refreshed_fragments) refreshes the header cart icon's live count — the same dependency the WooCommerce integration already declares, surfaced here because Kadence is what places the widget in the header.
No special setup — detected automatically once active.
This classification is rule-derived from reading Kadence's theme code, not from testing against a live install. It covers Kadence's own theme layer only — Kadence Blocks and the premium Kadence Pro / Kadence Blocks Pro addons aren't declared here, since each would need its own adapter if profiled.
Static Shield Lite is free to install and inspects your actual plugins, not just what's publicly visible.
