WooCommerce is the clearest real-world case for Hybrid mode: product and category pages are served static, the cart-count badge uses a small static fragment, add-to-cart goes through an explicit bridge route, and cart/checkout/my-account stay fully dynamic since they need real server-side state.
Hybrid
Product pages and category/shop listing pages are served from the static release.
Cart, checkout, and my-account all stay dynamic. Checkout specifically is not offered as an override — it requires server-side state and isn't something a static release can safely provide.
The cart-fragment refresh and add-to-cart actions go through dedicated bridge routes, each with its own rate limit; the cart and checkout pages themselves are treated as dynamic routes, not bridges.
No special setup — WooCommerce is detected automatically, and its presence is exactly what steers the mode recommendation toward Hybrid.
Automating a full test of the checkout flow is deliberately not attempted — sending real orders through an automated check isn't safe, so checkout compatibility is validated manually, per site, rather than asserted automatically.
Static Shield Lite is free to install and inspects your actual plugins, not just what's publicly visible.
