Performance profile
How much work a call to list_plugin_updates() 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_site_option(), cached per request but not free on a cold cache.
The body loops, so the work grows with how much data it finds.
Executed per call on PHP 8.5, depending on the branch taken. The body compiles to 359.
Nothing here hands control to plugin code.
Nothing in core calls this; the cost is only what you spend yourself.
What it touches
- optionnetwork option
get_site_option()called directly - transienttransient
get_site_transient()one call below list_plugin_updates() - hookthird-party callbacks
apply_filters()one call below list_plugin_updates()
Further down the call graph this can also reach cache, serialize and query. 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 list_plugin_updates() can have, taken from its control-flow graph on PHP 8.5.
| When | Instructions | Calls it makes |
|---|---|---|
!empty($plugins) && !isset($value) && !wp_is_auto_update_enabled_for_type() | 77–78 | wp_get_wp_version(), get_plugin_updates(), get_core_updates(), __(), number_format_i18n(), printf(), _e(), esc_url(), wp_nonce_field(), esc_attr_e(), _e(), wp_is_auto_update_enabled_for_type(), _e(), esc_attr_e() |
!empty($plugins) && !isset($value) && wp_is_auto_update_enabled_for_type() | 87–88 | wp_get_wp_version(), get_plugin_updates(), get_core_updates(), __(), number_format_i18n(), printf(), _e(), esc_url(), wp_nonce_field(), esc_attr_e(), _e(), wp_is_auto_update_enabled_for_type(), get_site_option(), wp_get_auto_update_message(), _e(), esc_attr_e() |
This body has more branch combinations than are worth enumerating, so the table covers the outcomes found first rather than every one that exists.
Across PHP versions
| PHP | Compiled | Executed | Branches | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8.6-dev | 363 | 81–92 | 23 | 4 more instructions than PHP 8.5 |
| 8.5 | 359 | 77–88 | 23 | |
| 8.4 | 359 | 77–88 | 23 | 6 fewer instructions than PHP 8.3 |
| 8.3 | 365 | 80–91 | 23 | |
| 8.2 | 365 | 80–91 | 23 | |
| 8.1 | 365 | 80–91 | 23 | 1 fewer instruction than PHP 7.4 |
| 7.4 | 366 | 80–91 | 23 |
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.
