rss_enclosure()

Since
1.5.0
Source
wp-includes/feed.php:475
Displays the rss enclosure for the current post.

Description

Uses the global $post to check whether the post requires a password and if the user has the password for the post. If not then it will return before displaying.

Also uses the function get_post_custom() to get the post's 'enclosure' metadata field and parses the value to display the enclosure(s). The enclosure(s) consist of enclosure HTML tag(s) with a URI and other attributes.

Performance profile

How much work a call to rss_enclosure() 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_post().

Scaling
Scales with input

The body loops, so the work grows with how much data it finds.

Instructions
4–10

Executed per call on PHP 8.5, depending on the branch taken. The body compiles to 61.

Plugin surface
1 hook

Third-party callbacks on 'rss_enclosure' run inside this call, and their cost is not bounded by anything here.

0

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

What it touches

  • querycontent queryget_post()one call below rss_enclosure()

Further down the call graph this can also reach 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 · 2 distinct outcomes

One number would be a lie: the work depends on which branch runs. These are every distinct cost rss_enclosure() 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.
