<h4>Elementor Loop Builder Support</h4>
CAF Pro allows you to add powerful filters to layouts created with Elementor Loop Builder.
First, design your post or custom post type layout using Elementor’s Loop Builder. Then apply CAF AJAX filters on top of that layout so visitors can filter the displayed content using categories, tags, or taxonomies.

<h4>Analytics Feature</h4>
CAF Pro includes a built-in Analytics feature that helps you understand how visitors interact with your filters.

CAF Pro includes an advanced search filter that allows visitors to quickly find content by typing keywords or using voice search <a href="https://caf.trustyplugins.com/layouts/caf-full-width-timeline/" rel="nofollow ugc">Demo</a>.
