Featured_Content::get_setting( string $key = 'all' ): mixed

Since
Twenty Fourteen 1.0
Source
wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen/inc/featured-content.php:458
Gets featured content settings.

Description

Gets all settings recognized by this module. This function will return all settings whether or not they have been stored in the database yet. This ensures that all keys are available at all times.

In the event that you only require one setting, you may pass its name as the first parameter to the function and only that value will be returned.

Array of all settings by default. A single value if passed as first parameter.

Performance profile

How much work a call to Featured_Content::get_setting() does, and what it touches: the algorithmic scaling, the Zend instruction count per call across PHP versions, the hooks it hands control to, and the core code that calls it. Measured from the compiled opcodes, not a stopwatch, so every number is identical on any machine running the same PHP version, and every function in core is ranked by cost.

Cost class
Moderate

Reads stored settings via get_option(), cached per request but not free on a cold cache.

Scaling
Constant

No loop in the body: the same number of instructions runs whatever you pass in.

Instructions
27–30

Executed per call on PHP 8.5, depending on the branch taken. The body compiles to 32.

Plugin surface
None

Nothing here hands control to plugin code.

5

5 places in core call this, so the cost is paid more often than your own code shows.

What it touches

  • optionoption read or writeget_option()called directly
  • hookthird-party callbacksapply_filters()one call below Featured_Content::get_setting()
  • cacheobject cachewp_cache_get()one call below Featured_Content::get_setting()

Further down the call graph this can also reach query and transient. Those are the worst case, several calls deep and usually down an error path, not what a normal call pays.

What one call costs · 1 distinct outcome

One number would be a lie: the work depends on which branch runs. These are every distinct cost Featured_Content::get_setting() can have, taken from its control-flow graph on PHP 8.5.

WhenInstructionsCalls it makes
always27–30get_option(), _x(), wp_parse_args(), array_intersect_key()

Across PHP versions

Compiles the same on PHP 7.4, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5 and 8.6-dev: 32 instructions, 27–30 executed per call, 2 branches. The work does not change between versions.

An instruction is not a fixed amount of time, so a matching count is not necessarily the same speed; what it rules out is a difference in the work itself.
