Title: Fast Filter for WooCommerce Author: ssiinnaa Published: September 25, 2026 Last modified: September 25, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/fast-filter-for-woocommerce/assets/banner-772x250.png?rev=3712296) ![](https://ps.w.org/fast-filter-for-woocommerce/assets/icon.svg?rev=3712296) # Fast Filter for WooCommerce By [ssiinnaa](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ssiinnaa/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/fast-filter-for-woocommerce.3.0.1.zip) * [Details](https://wordpress.org/plugins/fast-filter-for-woocommerce/#description) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/plugins/fast-filter-for-woocommerce/#reviews) * [Development](https://wordpress.org/plugins/fast-filter-for-woocommerce/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/fast-filter-for-woocommerce/) ## Description * **Accordion UI** – category tree (hierarchical), size sliders (length / width), shape, colour swatches, production type, material. Any source can be added as a list, swatch or range filter from the settings page. * **Reads every kind of product data** – global attributes (taxonomies), custom per-product attributes (the text ones on the product edit screen), and shipping dimensions / weight (including variations) through a small product index that is kept fresh on every product save. * **Full-height layout** by default (the Elementor popup scrolls); optional inner- scroll layout with sticky buttons. * **Instant Apply** – the result page is prefetched (or prerendered) in the background while the user is still choosing. * **OR inside a filter, AND between filters.** Counts next to every option are live (facet counts respect all _other_ filters) so users never pick an empty combination. * **Apply reloads the page** with clean URL parameters (`?ffwc_color=red,navy&ffwc_length =80-200`) and filters every Elementor Loop Grid / Posts widget whose _Query ID_ matches, plus the main WooCommerce product query. * **Category aware** – on a category page the category is pre-selected; choosing a sub-category (or another category) navigates to that category URL so the main route stays in sync. Multiple categories inside one branch stay on the branch URL with `ffwc_cat=`; categories from different branches go to the shop page. * **Fast** – all counts are grouped SQL, cached in transients and auto-invalidated whenever products or terms change. * **Dynamic** – terms, categories, colours and min/max values are read from the store, never hardcoded. ### Setup 1. Activate the plugin (requires WooCommerce; Elementor is optional). 2. WooCommerce Fast Filter: check the auto-detected attribute mapping (length, width, shape, colour, production type, material) and adjust if needed. 3. In Elementor, add the **Fast Filter** widget (category “Fast Filter”) inside a Popup or any container — or use the `[fast_filter]` shortcode. 4. In the Loop Grid widget: Query **Query ID** = `fast_filter` (configurable). 5. Optional: Products Attributes Colour edit a term “Swatch colour” to override the auto-detected colour. ### Shortcode ``` [fast_filter filters="cat,length,width,shape,color,production_type,material" nav="auto" counts="1" chips="1" title="Filters"]

Developer hooks

``` * `fast_filter_query_tax_query` – filter the tax_query clauses applied to product queries. * `fast_filter_facet_tax_query` / `fast_filter_facet_base_where` – adjust facet counting SQL. * `fast_filter_js_config` – adjust the front-end configuration.* JS event `fastfilter:apply` on `document` (detail: `{ url, state }`) fires right before navigation. * `elementor/query/{query_id}` is used for Loop Grid integration;` woocommerce_product_query` for the main query. ## Screenshots [⌊Sidebar layout: category tree, size sliders (from shipping dimensions), colour swatches and live counts next to a filtered product grid.⌉⌊Sidebar layout: category tree, size sliders (from shipping dimensions), colour swatches and live counts next to a filtered product grid.⌉[ Sidebar layout: category tree, size sliders (from shipping dimensions), colour swatches and live counts next to a filtered product grid.

Code base modernised: strict types, enums, readonly value objects, first-class callables. * Smart queries: one id-set query per request feeds every unselected facet (one grouped query for all flat taxonomies, one per category tree, one for custom attributes); the product count is derived from the same id set. * All filter term lists are stored in a single cache entry, so a page load does one cache read instead of one per filter. * Facet cache entries are keyed by the effective clauses, so the live-count request and the resulting page share the same entry. #### 2.2.2 * Fewer per-request queries: no table check / status lookups on normal page loads, category link map cached, no id precompute for the empty selection. #### 2.2.1 * Index table: prefix indexes + InnoDB so creation no longer fails with “Specified key was too long” on utf8mb4/MyISAM hosts. * No translation calls before `init` (WP 6.7 _load_textdomain_just_in_time notice). #### 2.2.0 * Matching product ids are precomputed while the shopper is choosing, so the Loop Grid / shop query after Apply is a plain “ID IN (…)”. * Live counts use a light early-exit endpoint (/?ffwc_facets=1) instead of the REST API; REST stays as fallback. * Cache warming: sitemap of filter URLs for cache crawlers (/?ffwc_sitemap=1) and an optional built-in WP-Cron warmer. #### 2.1.0 * Shipping dimensions / weight are read directly from product meta (variations included) — no index table required. * Attribute terms with no products are listed greyed out instead of hidden. * Index table creation is verified; failures are shown in admin with the DB error. Index self-builds after plugin updates (no activation needed) and continues without WP-Cron. #### 1.1.0 * Product index: custom (per-product) attributes and shipping dimensions/weight, incl. variations, as filter sources. * Auto-detection of sources in English and Persian; “Reset filters to auto-detected defaults”. * Full-height layout by default; inner-scroll layout optional. * Prefetch / prerender of the result page for near-instant Apply. * Fixes: Reset kept the old parameters; Apply was disabled when the count was 0; Elementor popup re-initialisation. #### 1.0.0 * Initial release. ## Meta * Version **3.0.1** * Last updated **19 hours ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.0 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.1.2** * PHP version ** 8.2 or higher ** * Tags * [elementor](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/elementor/)[faceted search](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/faceted-search/) [filter](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/filter/)[product filter](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/product-filter/) [woocommerce](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/woocommerce/) * [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/fast-filter-for-woocommerce/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
