Description

This method is public so that it can be used as a filter callback. As a rule, there is no need to invoke it directly, from either inside or outside the WP_Query object.

Compatibility

Deprecated in WordPress 6.3.0. Use WP_Metadata_Lazyloader::lazyload_meta_callback() instead.

The original value of $check, so as not to short-circuit get_comment_metadata().

Performance profile

How much work a call to WP_Metadata_Lazyloader::lazyload_comment_meta() 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
Trivial

Touches nothing outside its own arguments.

Scaling
Constant

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

Instructions
14

Executed per call on PHP 8.5. The body compiles to 14.

Plugin surface
None

Nothing here hands control to plugin code.

Called by
0

Nothing in core calls this; the cost is only what you spend yourself.

What it touches

  • hookthird-party callbacksdo_action()one call below WP_Metadata_Lazyloader::lazyload_comment_meta()

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 · 1 distinct outcome

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

Across PHP versions

Compiles the same on PHP 7.4, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5 and 8.6-dev: 14 instructions, 14 executed per call, 0 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.
