Checkbox widget doesn't need to use links

Created on 5 February 2025, 2 months ago

Problem/Motivation

The checkbox facets widget creates hidden links for each facet. When a facet is selected all the links get updated with the current combination of query parameters. This is causing issues for us since crawlers are hitting a link for every combination of facets. Our client is sometimes hitting their hosting providers view and visits limit 1 week into the billing cycle.

Proposed resolution

Replace the hidden links with hidden span tags. the span tag will have all of the html attributes from link. the checkbox widget javascript file will need a small update as well to select this span instead of an a tag.
