The requested domain for the error to reference.
$pathstring
The requested path for the error to reference.

Performance profile

How much work a call to ms_not_installed() 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
Heavy

Reaches the database via ->get_var().

Scaling
Scales with input

The body loops, so the work grows with what you pass in.

Instructions
89–103

Executed per call on PHP 8.5, depending on the branch taken. The body compiles to 124.

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

  • sqldatabase query->get_var()called directly
  • hookthird-party callbacksapply_filters()one call below ms_not_installed()

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 · 4 distinct outcomes

One number would be a lie: the work depends on which branch runs. These are every distinct cost ms_not_installed() 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: 124 instructions, 89–103 executed per call, 5 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 · 5

  • is_admin()Determines whether the current request is for an administrative interface page.
  • dead_db()Loads custom DB error or display WordPress DB error.
  • wp_load_translations_early()Attempts an early load of translations.
  • __()Retrieves the translation of $text.
  • wp_die()Kills WordPress execution and displays HTML page with an error message.
