// FacetWP Benefits

Unrivaled filtering

• FacetWP provides true faceted search, unlike basic filtering from other plugins
• When a facet choice is selected, all other facets on the page dynamically adjust
• Facet counts accurately reflect available results
• This virtually eliminates users from seeing “No results found” pages
• This keeps users engaged, leading to more sales / views!

Super-charge your existing data

• Supports all post types
• Supports all taxonomies
• Supports custom fields

• Includes integration with the Meta Box plugin (free add-on)
• Supports WooCommerce product attributes
• Supports WooCommerce product variations

• Supports post attributes (title, post date, post author, etc)
• FacetWP Professional supports filtering of WordPress users
• Uses WP core search by default (searches title and post body)

Easy implementation

• Each facet has a shortcode that can be dropped on a page
• Each shortcode can live virtually anywhere on the page, not just the sidebar
• FacetWP automatically detects archive pages (such as category pages or the WooCommerce shop archive), so facet shortcodes will “just work”
• Alternatively, use your existing template query or create your own template from scratch via a FacetWP (shortcode-based) template

Speed

• FacetWP is entirely ajax-based, eliminating the need for full page refreshes
• FacetWP uses an index table for lightning fast lookups
