Overview

About this plugin

Sieve gives your shoppers a fast, modern way to find products. They tick a few boxes, drag a price range, type a keyword, and the grid updates instantly with no page reload. It is built to feel effortless and to stay quick on large catalogs, with accessible widgets, a mobile filter drawer, and a rendering approach designed for Core Web Vitals: no layout shift when results change.

Everything runs against a pre-built index, so filtering stays fast even with thousands of products, and the counts next to each option update live as shoppers narrow down.

Filtering that feels instant:

  • AJAX filtering with no page reload, and shareable, bookmarkable URLs
  • Live dependent counts that update as filters are applied
  • Dual-handle price slider kept in sync with the minimum and maximum fields, and usable with the keyboard
  • Options with no matches hidden, or shown dimmed with a count of 0 (your choice)
  • Active-filter chips, one-click reset, sorting and pagination built in

Every facet type you need:

  • Checkboxes, radio buttons and searchable dropdowns
  • Color and image swatches, hierarchical (tree) categories
  • Autocomplete (searchable options) and an A-Z index
  • Range sliders, keyword search, sort, pagination and reset

Filter by anything in your catalog:

  • Categories, tags and product attributes
  • Price, stock status and on sale

Predictive product search:

  • An instant typeahead dropdown with thumbnails, prices, SKU and category matches, and full keyboard navigation

Fast and accessible by design:

  • Pre-built index for quick filtered queries on large catalogs
  • Mobile filter drawer with a sticky Apply bar
  • Keyboard and screen-reader friendly widgets
  • Core Web Vitals by design: no layout shift when results update

Easy to place and configure:

  • Gutenberg “Sieve Filter” block, an Elementor “Sieve Filter” widget, and the [sieve] shortcode
  • A visual facet builder in the admin: add, reorder and retype facets, set the layout, and rebuild the index
