You’re not going to get a noticeable difference doing it one way over another. Slowness comes from what the code is doing. If you’re worried about performance, just make sure you’re caching external requests whenever you can, that includes calls to the database.
Via the “Annotate” function the the Trac, you can see that this was added three years ago, after the request for a generic POST handler that plugins can use.

adding these functions should do the trick. First things first, add this line to functions.php while you are working on this: add_action(‘init’, ‘flush_rewrite_rules’); What that code will do is constantly flush the rewrite rules, it makes this easier to test while you are working on it, instead of having to go in and manually reset … Read more

So most plugin authors enqueued both on every WordPress init/load, even if the plugin wasn’t being used on a given page. Current versions of WordPress allow for enqueuing later in the flow … Read more
You can look at the Codex. Encodes < > & ” ‘ (less than, greater than, ampersand, double quote, single quote). Will never double encode entities. Given that, arguably, both of those strings need sanitization. Imagine a site name like >> “My” Website’s Great Title <<” Also, since you are using this in Javascript, you … Read more
Make it as simple as possible for theme developers. Most are not programmers. There are two very simple options: add_theme_support() and get_theme_support() Provide an identifier and some options. Let’s say your identifier is drtanz_plugin. A theme author could now add the following to her theme’s functions.php: add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘prefix_register_theme_support’ ); function prefix_register_theme_support() { add_theme_support( ‘drtanz_plugin’, … Read more
