# Direct Fetch

A **Direct Fetch** is a price request made directly from your WordPress server to the external website.

Direct Fetch is the standard method PriceFetchWP uses when a URL Entry is not configured to use a proxy or affiliate integration.

If the external website allows normal server-based requests, Direct Fetch is usually the simplest and fastest option. Websites that block server requests or require browser-style rendering may need a Proxy provider instead.
