Could you please confirm which code are you referring to? Also, please share your website so we can check your site.

sorry I was not very clear, will the plugin include references to google or FB in the source code of the pages, that can be picked by the Great Firewall
Hello,
By default configuration, Rank Math doesn’t display any Google code (specifically tracking codes) unless you activated Rank Math’s Analytics Module.
And also, please ensure that you haven’t added anything in your Google Search Console verification code under Rank Math > General Settings > Webmaster Tools.
As for Facebook, Rank Math generates Open Graph which is also needed for other social platforms.
If you wish to remove the Open Graph, use the filter below by inserting it in your theme’s functions.php file:
/**
* Hook to remove og:tags
*/
add_action( 'rank_math/head', function() {
remove_all_actions( 'rank_math/opengraph/facebook' );
remove_all_actions( 'rank_math/opengraph/twitter' );
});
Hope this helps you in your current situation.
Looking forward to helping you.
