Core Technical Specifications

Key Features & Functionalities

• Smart Filtering: Only relevant choices are displayed based on previous selections (prevents “No results found” screens).

• Facet Types: Includes Checkboxes, Dropdowns, Date Ranges, Sliders, Star Ratings, Proximity (Geolocation), and Autocomplete search.

• Integration with Existing Data: Pulls data from categories, tags, custom taxonomies, and Custom Fields.

• Listing Builder: Includes a built-in layout builder to design how your results appear, or you can use your theme’s existing archives.

• Developer Friendly: Extensively documented with hundreds of PHP and JS hooks for deep customization.

Major Integrations

FacetWP is designed to play nicely with the “big players” in the WordPress ecosystem:

• WooCommerce: Full support for product attributes and variations.

• ACF (Advanced Custom Fields): Native support for nearly all field types, including Repeaters and Relationship fields.

• Page Builders: Official add-ons for Elementor, Beaver Builder, Bricks, and the Block Editor (Gutenberg).

• Search Plugins: Deep integration with SearchWP and Relevanssi to combine keyword relevance with facet filtering.

• Multilingual: Fully compatible with WPML and Polylang.

Performance & Optimization

Unlike many filtering plugins that query the database in real-time (which slows down as your site grows), FacetWP uses an Index Table.

• Scalability: It can handle thousands of posts without a significant performance hit.

• Caching: Includes a dedicated Caching add-on for high-traffic environments to further reduce server load.

• Lightweight Code: The plugin is known for its clean codebase, helping sites pass Google’s Core Web Vitals.
