- Since
- 6.6.0
- Source
wp-includes/interactivity-api/class-wp-interactivity-api.php:492
Description
It uses the WP_Interactivity_API instance's context and namespace stacks, which are shared between all calls.
This method returns null if the HTML contains unbalanced tags.
Compatibility
- WordPress
- since 6.6.0
- 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.
Parameters
$htmlstring- The HTML content to process.
Return value
string|null- The processed HTML content. It returns null when the HTML contains unbalanced tags.
Performance profile
How much work a call to WP_Interactivity_API::_process_directives() 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.
The body loops, so the work grows with what you pass in.
Executed per call on PHP 8.5, depending on the branch taken. The body compiles to 221.
Nothing here hands control to plugin code.
2 places in core call this, so the cost is paid more often than your own code shows.
What it touches
- hookthird-party callbacks
do_action()one call below WP_Interactivity_API::_process_directives()
Further down the call graph this can also reach query, option, cache, serialize 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 · 12 distinct outcomes
One number would be a lie: the work depends on which branch runs. These are every distinct cost WP_Interactivity_API::_process_directives() 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.
