How Super Speedy Filters differs from Advanced AJAX Product Filters

All plugins from Super Speedy Plugins share a SQL-first architecture and an uncompromising focus on performance — and Super Speedy Filters is no different. Here is what sets it apart:

Every filter click should feel immediate, even when the catalogue is large. Super Speedy Filters cuts expensive taxonomy work, updates products and filters together, and keeps crawler-heavy filter combinations away from WordPress.

How to choose between Advanced AJAX Product Filters and Super Speedy Filters?

For stores where page speed translates directly into revenue, the comparison between Advanced AJAX Product Filters and Super Speedy Filters is worth examining carefully. Super Speedy Filters's SQL-first design means performance is built into the architecture rather than bolted on afterwards. Every release is tested against a one-million-product WooCommerce catalogue, so performance scales with your store rather than against it. Try it on your staging environment using the free trial — you will see the difference immediately.

I came to this plugin because I needed an all-in-one solution for filtering on my client's webshop with custom taxonomies. I tried many other filtering plugins, but they were way too slow (Took 10+ sec to load the filtered products), or they were not able to display the custom taxonomies with the basic product categories. This plugin has it all, it's fast (makes a product filter under 2 sec on 3000+ products and 10000+ variations), and it has all the options to make the filter as you really want it. Works perfectly together with the Super Speedy Search plugin.
