wp_is_maintenance_mode(): bool

Description

Compatibility

Present in every tracked release (6.7.7 to 7.1.0), and compiles on PHP 7.4 through 8.6-dev.

Return value

bool

True if maintenance mode is enabled, false otherwise.

Performance profile

How much work a call to wp_is_maintenance_mode() 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

Reads or writes the filesystem via file_exists().

Scaling

Constant

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

Instructions

8–55

Executed per call on PHP 8.5, depending on the branch taken. The body compiles to 59.

Plugin surface

1 hook

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

Called by

2

2 places in core call this, so the cost is paid more often than your own code shows.

What one call costs · 6 distinct outcomes

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

Hooks and filters fired · 1

One hook fires while wp_is_maintenance_mode() runs, in this order:
