Frequently Asked Questions

Will this plugin slow down my site?

The initial content indexing might require server resources, especially on large sites. However, the search process itself after indexing is extremely fast and won’t noticeably impact your site’s performance for visitors. Background re-indexing is also optimized.

Yes, WP Fast Total Search is designed to work on standard shared hosting environments with PHP and MySQL support. It does not require installing external search servers (like Elasticsearch or Solr) or connecting to third-party services. Everything happens within your WordPress installation.

WPFTS focuses on maximum speed, ease of use “out-of-the-box”, and operating without external dependencies. While other plugins might offer similar features, WPFTS often excels in performance on standard hosting and provides a very flexible API for developers. The Pro version is also unique with its deep file content search integration.

No, not usually. The plugin automatically detects content changes (post creation, updates, deletion) and updates the index in the background. A manual index rebuild might only be necessary after significant changes to plugin settings or if you encounter issues.

Basic setup is very simple: install, activate, and run the initial index. The plugin will start working with default settings. Advanced options, like detailed relevance tuning or custom indexing rules, require more understanding, but comprehensive documentation is available.
