WP_Customize_Setting::preview(): bool
- Since
- 3.4.0, 4.4.0
- Source
wp-includes/class-wp-customize-setting.php:319
Add filters to supply the setting's value when accessed.
Description
If the setting already has a pre-existing value and there is no incoming post value for the setting, then this method will short-circuit since there is no change to preview.
Compatibility
- WordPress
- since 4.4.0
- PHP
- 7.4–8.6-dev
- 6.7.7
- 6.8.8
- 6.9.7
- 7.0.4
- 7.1.0
Present in every tracked release (6.7.7 to 7.1.0), and compiles on PHP 7.4 through 8.6-dev.
Return value
bool- False when preview short-circuits due no change needing to be previewed.
Performance profile
How much work a call to WP_Customize_Setting::preview() 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.

Touches nothing outside its own arguments.
No loop in the body: the same number of instructions runs whatever you pass in.
Executed per call on PHP 8.5, depending on the branch taken. The body compiles to 165.
Third-party callbacks on 'customize_preview_{$this->id}', 'customize_preview_{$this->type}' run inside this call, and their cost is not bounded by anything here.
Nothing in core calls this; the cost is only what you spend yourself.

What one call costs · 26 distinct outcomes
One number would be a lie: the work depends on which branch runs. These are every distinct cost WP_Customize_Setting::preview() can have, taken from its control-flow graph on PHP 8.5.

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.
