Filter plugin which DOESN'T rewrite URLs?

14 August 2026 at 03:09

I've been using Filter Everything on my site for several years, to filter a custom post type by three different taxonomies. Applying each filter rewrites the URL which makes the filtered view shareable/saveable, like ?category=abc,def&type=xyz.

Crawler bots have been affecting performance of the site by targeting very long strings of query URLs because there are a huge number of possible combinations. I want to get rid of the endless query URLs while still making the filters accessible to human users.

Is there a plugin which applies filters to a post archive using javascript in the page, without rewriting the URLs to add queries?
