Zestard's Filter Per Category Magento 1 extension can be used if one requires the attributes to become visible/available for specifically selected categories and to simplify the product searching efforts of online shoppers by excluding unnecessary filter attributes which are not related to that particular product.
Store admin can use this module to create separate filters for each category. For Eg: Suppose you are selling products in the market of Clothes & Jewellery categories from your store and you want the size/weight/or any other specific attribute as a filter option to be displayed only in Clothes Category and not in Jewellery, at that time Filter Per Category helps you to solve your issue here.
The extension helps you to chop off certain attributes from showing on every category page and shows only the filters which you want for that particular category. It helps store admin to easily categorize products and customer can browse using the attributes for better results.
