    Sorry if this is a goofy question. In regards to inserting PHP, Is there any sort of performance difference between using your plugin vs. just relying on coding inside the functions.php ? Or any difference that I should be aware of?

    I guess the same question could be said about enqueing css/js files vs using Woody to do it. Would there be performance differences? Or other considerations?

    Thanks

    @wpwanderer Based on my understanding, they store code in database, then it will be a little delayed to call comparing with code included in functions.php

    Hi.

    The difference in performance is not significant at all, but it is more convenient to use woody. Especially your code in functions.php will disappear when you update the theme
