Does it require WooCommerce?
Section titled “Does it require WooCommerce?”Yes. This early version targets WooCommerce products.
Does filtering reload the page?
Section titled “Does filtering reload the page?”No. Filtering happens via AJAX, with the URL kept in sync so results are shareable and the back button works.
How do I add the filter to a page?
Section titled “How do I add the filter to a page?”Use the [sieve] shortcode or the Sieve Filter block. Both render the facets, the results grid, sorting, active-filter chips and pagination together.
Will it work with my theme?
Section titled “Will it work with my theme?”Yes. The results grid is styled by Sieve itself, so it renders correctly with or without your theme’s WooCommerce styles.
Is it fast on large catalogs?
Section titled “Is it fast on large catalogs?”Filtered queries read a pre-built index rather than running live joins, which keeps them fast as the catalog grows. The index updates automatically as products change.
Is Sieve an alternative to heavy AJAX filter plugins?
Section titled “Is Sieve an alternative to heavy AJAX filter plugins?”Yes, when you need fast WooCommerce product filtering without making every filter change depend on expensive live database joins. Sieve is designed around an index, accessible controls, stable layouts and shareable URLs, so it is a good fit for stores where speed and usability matter more than decorative filter widgets.
Does Sieve help with Core Web Vitals?
Section titled “Does Sieve help with Core Web Vitals?”Yes. Sieve avoids full page reloads, reserves space for refreshed results and updates the product grid in place. That reduces layout movement during filtering and helps the page feel responsive, especially on mobile category pages.
Are Sieve filter URLs SEO-friendly?
Section titled “Are Sieve filter URLs SEO-friendly?”Sieve keeps filter state in the URL, so shoppers can share filtered results and use the back button naturally. For SEO, store owners should still decide which filtered combinations deserve indexing. Useful landing filters can be indexed, but endless combinations of price, colour and stock state should usually stay controlled with canonical or noindex rules.
Can I use Sieve on WooCommerce category pages?
Section titled “Can I use Sieve on WooCommerce category pages?”Yes. Sieve can be placed on product category archives and dedicated product landing pages. The best facets are the ones that match real buyer intent: size, colour, price, stock status, rating, brand, product attribute and category.
Does Sieve work without JavaScript?
Section titled “Does Sieve work without JavaScript?”The controls are rendered as real form controls first, then enhanced by JavaScript. The intended experience is AJAX filtering, but the markup is structured so the interface remains understandable before the enhancement script runs.
Are the widgets accessible?
Section titled “Are the widgets accessible?”Yes. Facets are real form controls with labels and ARIA, fully usable with a keyboard, and they work even before the enhancement script loads.
My results look unstyled after filtering. What should I do?
Section titled “My results look unstyled after filtering. What should I do?”Sieve styles the product grid itself, so this is rare. Make sure the Sieve assets are loaded on the page (they enqueue automatically when the shortcode or block is present) and that the index has been built from the Sieve admin screen.
Is there a Pro version?
Section titled “Is there a Pro version?”A Pro edition is planned for advanced facet types, conditional rules, A/B layout testing and a performance dashboard. The free version is fully functional on its own.
