We study the contact process in the regime of small infection rates on finite scale-free networks with stationary dynamics based on simultaneous updating of all connections of a vertex. We allow the update rates of individual vertices to increase with the strength of a vertex, leading to a fast evolution of the network. We first develop an approach for inhomogeneous networks with general kernel and then focus on two canonical cases, the factor kernel and the preferential attachment kernel. For these specific networks, we identify and analyse four possible strategies how the infection can survive for a long time. We show that there is fast extinction of the infection when neither of the strategies is successful, otherwise there is slow extinction and the most successful strategy determines the asymptotics of the metastable density as the infection rate goes to zero. We identify the domains in which these strategies dominate in terms of phase diagrams for the exponent describing the decay of the metastable density.
