FacetWP Caching Add-On 1.7.1
FacetWP Caching Add-On speeds up FacetWP-powered filters by caching AJAX results, and it plays well with other caching plugins. This Wordpress addon delivers faster page loads and smoother user interactions, improving user experience and SEO. Easy integration with popular caches (like WP Rocket) makes setup quick and reliable.
Description
The FacetWP Caching Add-On for WordPress is designed to make FacetWP-powered filters feel faster and more responsive. It improves filter performance by caching the AJAX results that FacetWP uses to update content without reloading the page.
On busy sites such as WooCommerce-style catalogs, each filter change can trigger repeated server processing. This add-on reduces that repeated work, helping deliver quicker responses and smoother interactions in the browser.
It also complements other caching plugins, since most caching tools intentionally ignore AJAX requests. For example, you can use WP Rocket alongside the FacetWP Caching Add-on when the relevant settings are configured.
Main Features
- AJAX result caching — Stores FacetWP filter response data to reduce repeat processing.
- Faster facet updates — Improves response times when users apply filters, sorting, or search facets.
- Compatibility with caching plugins — Works alongside other caches because many caches skip AJAX requests.
- WP Rocket-friendly setup — Can be used with WP Rocket when specific Rocket settings are in place.
- Improved page interaction flow — Helps maintain a smoother user experience during asynchronous updates.
