   Hi guys,

   I've been using WP for a while but alwaays wondered something about the amazing functions.php file.

   The code I put in my functions.php file - do these codes get read by the system every time a page on my site gets loaded? I ask because I have many "prevent default behavior" type rules for various plugins in my functions.php and am afraid that the more stuff I have in that file the slower it's going to make my site.

   Is my fear reasonable or not?

   Yes. See:

   I have many "prevent default behavior" type rules for various plugins in my functions.php and am afraid that the more stuff I have in that file the slower it's going to make my site.

   Since this file functions like a plugin and depending on what's in it, it could potentially slow down your site like some plugins can.
