Yoast's meta tags, Open Graph, and schema.org output are baked into every page as static content. Its XML sitemap is not yet included in the static crawl route manifest, so it still falls through to WordPress live.
No single mode applies — Yoast SEO doesn't influence which serving mode a site should use; see the notes below for what it actually does.
Meta tags, Open Graph tags, and schema.org markup are rendered into the static release.
The XML sitemap (/sitemap_index.xml) is currently served dynamically.
None — the sitemap is treated as a dynamic route rather than a bridge.
No special setup — detected automatically once active.
The sitemap being dynamic is a documented gap the plugin's own adapter code flags as a candidate for a future static classification, not a permanent limitation of the approach.
Static Shield Lite is free to install and inspects your actual plugins, not just what's publicly visible.
