WooCommerce Filter addition works great, except the EXTREMELY slow “Clear filter”

[ad_1]

This is the category page I built the filter on:
[https://www.nspsurfboards.com/product-category/surfboards/](https://www.nspsurfboards.com/product-category/surfboards/)

**(please click “SHOW FILTERS”)**

I think all functionality is there and I am ok with its speed. But when I want to clear the filter by clicking “CLEAR FILTER” it takes 20 seconds or longer which is not user-friendly at all and management will mention it for sure.

I suspect WooCommerce is at fault, and I wonder how I can speed this up. Any help or troubleshooting step-by-step would be much appreciated.

TIA and have a great weekend everyone!

  1. It’s highly unlikely that it is WooCommerce, even highly unlikely it is WordPress. This filter button is JavaScript. So it’s likely theme based code, or some JavaScript from a plug-in you added?

    I wouldn’t really use JavaScript for this unless you know React or comparable JS lib.

    The best user experience is the one that is simple & works.

    A better option would be to have a unique URL for each filter. You likely already have this, and may not even know it. This way they can be pre-rendered, cached, load instantly, and SEO would be much better… WooCommerce/WP does it out of the box.

    Eg: use the same buttons, but just link them to each URL.
    /categories/brands/x
    /categories/brands/y

    Also, I’m not sure who you’re hosting with, but I would change to using a dedicated VM with something like Serverpilot. Your load time is really slow already, but this could be a side effect of just the JavaScript that is on that page.

    Best of luck!
