Enable WoodMart Ajax Filter to Improve Product Filtering Efficiency

One of the most frustrating things about browsing products on an e-commerce site is that the page keeps jumping, refreshing, and loading slowly when you're sifting through them. If you are using the WoodMart theme, turn on the Ajax Product FilteringFunction, the page will not be refreshed when the customer selects the color, brand, price, the screening results are loaded out directly, the whole process is smoother, faster and more like a modern e-commerce site.

What are Ajax filters?

Simply put, an Ajax filter allows the user to see the results of a filter without reloading the entire page. For example, if you select "white sneakers", the page will not jump, but will directly update the content of the product area. This is much smoother than the traditional "refresh page after clicking".

WoodMart Made this feature into its own gadget system, which when turned on requires little to no code and no additional plugins.

Is Ajax filtering on by default?

Ajax product filtering is enabled by default on most sites with WoodMart installed. But if you've customized your theme settings, or are using an older version, it may not be turned on.

You can find the relevant switches in the backend theme settings:

• Open the WordPress backend and go to [WoodMart] > [Theme Settings].
• Find [Product Catalog] > [Ajax shop].
• Verify that "Enable Ajax Filtering" is checked.

As soon as this item is opened, the product filter bar in the foreground loads in real time without refreshing the page.

Where can I use the Ajax filter?

This feature is mainly used on product category pages, i.e. "All Products", "By Brand", "By Tag" pages in the mall. In these places, the filter bar on the left or top can be operated in real time using Ajax.

The supported filter types are:

• Price Range Slider
• Brand Screening
• Attribute filtering (color, size, etc.)
• Product Category Filtering
• Rating Screening (star rating)

These are WooCommerce Default categories and attribute items are automatically recognized by WoodMart and converted to Ajax form.

How do I add these filters?

Go to Backstage > Appearance > Widgets and you'll see WoodMart-specific widgets like:

• WoodMart Layered Nav
• WoodMart Price Filter
• WoodMart Attribute Filter

Add these to the location you want to display them (e.g. Sidebar), set the corresponding categories or attributes, and you can display Ajax-style filter zones on the frontend.

One thing to keep in mind is that if you're using the Elementor PageIt is recommended to reserve a place for the WooCommerce sidebar in the template so that the filter will work properly.

Does Ajax filtering affect SEO?

Many people will worry about whether Ajax will affect search engine indexing. In fact, WoodMart's Ajax is based on URL parameter switching, each filtering will be added to the parameters in the address bar, which means that each filtering result can be included, will not hide the content, and will not reduce the exposure.

You can also combine Rank Math maybe Yoast SEO Set up the handling of parameter URLs to further optimize inclusion performance.

summarize

Ajax Product Filter is one of the built-in highlights of WoodMart, after opening the whole mall browsing experience will be much smoother. No need to install plug-ins, no need to write code, just set up in the background, add the right widgets in the page, customers can quickly filter products, improve dwell time and conversion rate.
