Get Super Speedy Filters →Comparing WC Lookup with Super Speedy Filters? This page breaks down the key differences and similarities so you can find the best fit for your WordPress or WooCommerce store.
Overview of WC Lookup
WC Lookup is a WooCommerce filtering and live search plugin that combines product filtering with real-time search functionality. It supports filtering by attributes, custom fields, price, and categories with AJAX-powered updates and a straightforward setup interface.
How Super Speedy Filters differs from WC Lookup
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.
WC Lookup combines filtering and search in a lightweight package, but its query approach still relies on standard WooCommerce database calls at request time. Super Speedy Filters uses dedicated, pre-indexed SQL tables to serve filter results at a consistent speed that standard query-time approaches simply cannot match as catalogue size grows.
How to choose between WC Lookup and Super Speedy Filters?
WC Lookup's combined filter and search functionality is useful for smaller stores, but the standard query-time approach will slow as your catalogue grows. Super Speedy Filters' SQL-first architecture and dedicated tables were designed for exactly that scaling challenge — tested against one-million products, free trial available.
What do others say about Super Speedy Filters?
I tested every filter plugin out there, all of them slowed down the site. Sound familiar? That’s when I found Super Speedy. With lightning-fast load times and outstanding support, any tweaks or fixes are implemented in no time. P.S. Know of any other plugins with live support on Discord? Any support that helps with Query Monitor and other plugins? Exactly. You're looking at your best option.
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.
This is the third plugin i bought! Faster isn't close to how fast woo widgets load! Excellent plugin!!!
