Performance profile
How much work a call to WP_REST_Global_Styles_Controller::get_theme_items() 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.

Reads stored settings via get_option(), cached per request but not free on a cold cache.
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 57.
Nothing here hands control to plugin code.
Nothing in core calls this; the cost is only what you spend yourself.
What it touches
- hookthird-party callbacks
apply_filters()one call below WP_REST_Global_Styles_Controller::get_theme_items() - optionoption read or write
get_option()one call below WP_REST_Global_Styles_Controller::get_theme_items()
Further down the call graph this can also reach cache, serialize, 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 · 2 distinct outcomes
One number would be a lie: the work depends on which branch runs. These are every distinct cost WP_REST_Global_Styles_Controller::get_theme_items() can have, taken from its control-flow graph on PHP 8.5.
| When | Instructions | Calls it makes |
|---|---|---|
| always | 15 | get_stylesheet(), __() |
| always | 23–24 | get_stylesheet(), ::WP_Theme_JSON_Resolver(), wp_register_block_style_variations_from_theme_json_partials(), ::WP_Theme_JSON_Resolver(), rest_ensure_response() |
Across PHP versions
Compiles the same on PHP 7.4, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5 and 8.6-dev: 57 instructions, 15–24 executed per call, 4 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.
Uses · 9
- get_stylesheet()Retrieves name of the current stylesheet.
- __()Retrieves the translation of $text.
- wp_register_block_style_variations_from_theme_json_partials()Registers block style variations read in from theme.json partials.
- rest_ensure_response()Ensures a REST response is a response object (for consistency).
- WP_Error::__construct()Initializes the error.
- WP_Theme_JSON_Resolver::get_style_variations()Returns the style variations defined by the theme.
- WP_Theme_JSON::__construct()Constructor.
- WP_Theme_JSON_Resolver::get_resolved_theme_uris()Resolves relative paths in theme.json styles to theme absolute paths and returns them in an array that can be embedded as the value of `_link` object in REST API responses.
- WP_REST_Global_Styles_Controller::prepare_response_for_collection()
