Some things could not be fully optimised by Scalability Pro alone which is why Super Speedy Filters was created. Our filters are built with modern hand-crafted SQL code and custom ajax handlers to transform the speed of your filtering, regardless of the size of your website.
- Incredible variety of display and filtering options
- Comprehensive SEO control for short and long tail archive pages
- Includes our Smart Variation tech – filtering to ‘red’ items shows the red variation image and only for those products which are actually in stock in red. Clicking the item takes you to the product page with red already selected.
- Stop losing sales – our custom ajax handler & hand-crafted SQL means filtering happens instantly!
- Get more traffic – we build long-tail URLs for Googlebot like /product-category/dogs/brand/dogsrus/color/white/ and provide total control over canonical URLs and Googlebot indexing.
- Works perfectly and sub-second with WooCommerce – All other post type filtering coming soon
Super Speedy Filters has been built from the ground up to be lightning fast – as always, we test everything against our reference million product store. It works perfectly in combination with our Super Speedy Search and Scalability Pro plugins.
Super Speedy Filters takes advantage of and requires MySQL 8 or MariaDB 10.2.2 or later. MySQL 8 has been out since 2018 and MariaDB 10.2.2 since 2016, so all good hosts now provide upgrade options to MySQL 8 or MariaDB instead of MySQL 5.7.
Rated 5 out of 5 by real stores at real scale
Super Speedy Filters holds a 5 out of 5 rating across 13 reviews, many from shops running tens of thousands of products.
“We were looking for a filter plug-in that was compatible with our shops with 30-70 thousand products. Until then, no other filter was able to process such quantities satisfactorily and fulfil our wishes.”
Rene Jakob
“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.”
Diana Switajewska
“Best effing Woo filter on the planet. Period.”

What Super Speedy Filters gives you back
- Stop losing sales to slow filters. When filters take seconds, shoppers give up. Instant AJAX filtering keeps them browsing and buying.
- Free traffic from long-tail pages. SSF builds clean, indexable archive URLs and gives you full control over which ones Google sees, so your brand and attribute pages can rank.
- Your catalogue stops being the limit. Whether you run 30,000, 70,000 or a million products, filtering stays fast, so you can add every supplier and every attribute.
- Fewer dead clicks. Smart Variations shows the exact in-stock variant a shopper filtered for, and takes them to it with that option already selected.
- It fits your site. It inherits your theme styling by default, drops into any builder, and adds a widget area above the archive so you are not stuck with just the sidebar.
Key Features
- Category, Brand, Attribute Filters
- Custom taxonomy filters
- Complete URL control, great for SEO
- Complete dofollow/nofollow control

Lightning Fast
The whole reason Dave Hilditch made Super Speedy Plugins was to create plugins that make WordPress fast, regardless of how large you grow.
Why choose Super Speedy Filters?
All competitor widgets that we have tested suffer the same problem – they have poorly designed code that either performs 1000s of queries per page (you can check yours with query monitor) or performs fast but large queries that then take seconds or even minutes to process in PHP. On our demo 1,000,000 product store our competition take over a minute to generate the filters on the archive page while Super Speedy Filters takes under a second!
The difference in WordPress and WooCommerce speed and scalability once you eliminate bad code is phenomenal.
We develop and test against a 1,000,000 product store and have superusers who help us test beta releases so you can rest assured that speed and scalability of your shop filters will never be an issue again!
Beautiful and Fast WooCommerce Filters
Super Speedy Filters product filters look gorgeous. By default we will inherit your current theme or filter styling, but there are many advanced Ux options to improve your customer’s shopping experience.

What's new in Super Speedy Filters?
View full changelog →- Fixed the "Show but delay execution" filter still not loading on search results on some sites (typically HTTPS/staging). The lazy-load request used an absolute REST URL from `rest_url()`, which could come back as `http://` or a different host and be blocked by the browser before any request was sent, so nothing showed in the network tab. It now uses a root-relative URL that always matches the page's own scheme and host.
- Improved delayed filters ("Show but delay execution") staying empty on search results pages. Two causes: the lazy-load request used a hard-coded /wp-json/ address that failed on sites using plain permalinks or forcing trailing slashes (the browser cached the redirect, so the request silently never completed), and the endpoint that builds the filter was re-deferring it instead of rendering its options. Filters now load correctly regardless of your permalink settings. If a filter was previously stuck empty, clear your page/object cache after updating.
- Fixed the per-filter "Show but delay execution" option on search results pages. Previously the deferred filter only ever populated when it was inside a popout/popover container; with "No container" (and minimizable/accordion) the filter box showed but its options never loaded. Now every container type works: filters in a container load when the shopper opens/hovers/expands them, and filters with no container load automatically just after the page finishes rendering. Updated the option's help tooltip to explain this and recommend (but not require) a container.
- Fixed filter counts falling back to the slower query path on stores that use Super Speedy Listings (formerly Super Speedy Archives) to build the object_ancestors table. SSF now recognises the Listings-built table for its fast filter-count path instead of only its own copy, via a shared readiness check (ssf_object_ancestors_ready()).
- Fixed `wp ssf rebuild` leaving the object-ancestors "table ready" status stuck showing "processing" on sites with a persistent object cache (Redis/Memcached). The rebuild now clears the cached status flags so the table is correctly reported as ready — previously this could mislead the admin notices and the automatic rebuild trigger until the cache expired.
- Changed use of <p style="display:none"> to HTML comments instead for VERBOSE DEBUG mode.

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.
Diana S. (verified owner) –
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.
Ewelina B. (verified owner) –
Got the full pack SSF, SSS, SP on my store at wordpress. It is huge and got lots of options to consider. At start it can be too much but later you’ll appreciate it. All is well clarified in documentation. What is great if you join discort you’ll get instant access from author Dave to help you out with your problems, bugs or questions!
Dimitris C. (verified owner) –
I have used scalability pro, super speedy filters and super speedy search in multiple sites. All of them work great and boosted speed greatly! The support in Discord is fast and reliable, and bugs are fixed super fast. I’m so happy I have found these plugins!
Thank you
Mladan N. (verified owner) –
This plugin is absolutely amazing! There is no comparison to anything available on the market, whether free or paid. It transforms large WooCommerce stores, even those with 80K+ products, to perform like small, single-product stores. The results are displayed instantly. Very impressive!
Silver P. (verified owner) –
Best effing Woo filter on the planet. Period.
All other filters turn to DB to get terms and stock levels. This is fine with small sites.
18k products. Sort by brand? Dynamically populated filters based on category contents? YITH, Themify etc – you know that it adds around 9 seconds to page load. Hell no. With SSF i can barely notice speed difference but filters work like they suppose to.
Dave H. –
Thank you so much for your review! Just one clarification for others, we also read from the DB for the terms and stock levels, but I write the queries myself to be ultra fast and SSF has it’s own highly optimised object relationships table which is far superior to the default ones provided with WordPress.
For example, if you have a term which contains 20 other terms – e.g. different types of clothing inside the clothing category, default WordPress/WooCommerce will grab all the child terms of the clothing category and then perform a SQL statement like this: WHERE term_id in (1, 2, 3, 4, ….) IN statements in SQL are terrible and prevent further use of indexes. My table lets you say WHERE topterm_id = 1 and this naturally includes the children. I’ll write up a full info article on this soon.
Also – if you have a look at the defines.php file, you’ll find some BETA level performance optimisations if you’re looking for EVEN MORE speed boost. Really! These beta options need to be added by adding the define to your wp-config.php file currently, but soon they will be in your options page.

The developer is always in touch in discord.
Filter working very fast (i use in ajax). I use woof before, but after 10 attributes itsa working slow. I use with Scalability Pro.
Its realy very fast. Thank you Dave.
RENE J. (verified owner) –
We were looking for a filter plug-in that was compatible with our shops with 30-70 thousand products. Until then, no other filter was able to process such quantities satisfactorily and fulfil our wishes. Due to our good experiences with wpintense (Scalability Pro), we took Dave at his word and installed the plugin. Particularly noteworthy are Dave’s tireless improvements and first-class support. Almost all wishes are answered immediately and a solution is sought and found. The filter plugin is also therefore able to filter extensive shops extremely quickly and reliably. We are thrilled with the performance of the filter and the wpintense team! Of course we will now buy the “lifetime” licence.
Daniel A. (verified owner) –
It’s nice to look at the website after turning on this plugin, instant filtration of products even on pages with a huge amount of them. The plugin gives conditional display of filters, e.g. if we want a filter to be visible in a given place only, i.e. after selecting a category or taxonomy field, it will appear only when we select any category, which products are assigned to this category and there is at least one assigned to this product attribute . In addition, you can change the SLUG quickly, i.e. the link does not have to be the same as the filter name, we can choose another. It’s worth using. I spent a lot of time finding this plug and testing others in the market. I am currently stating that it is the # 1 plugin for filtering products on WooCommerce among the others. The top ones are often limited to e.g. 100,000 products, but filtering is also slower than this FWW plugin.

Hi Dave,
the plugin is great, very fast and highly customisable. Would be great if it was compatible with Yith Brands Add-on. We have many brand pages and would like to use filters on brand pages as well, such as filter by categories and attributes, which is very important for a e-commerce site.
REGARDS
Dave H. –
I am pleased to confirm that a new Custom Taxonomy widget was added in beta 2.34 to add compatibility for Yith Brands, Woo Brands etc. Many improvements made to Faster Woo Widgets since then too – complete control over your custom taxonomy URLs etc.
