When WordPress handles a request from a browser, it’s essentially executing as one long PHP script. wp profile stage
breaks the script into three stages:
- bootstrap is where WordPress is setting itself up, loading plugins and the main theme, and firing the
init
hook. - main_query is how WordPress transforms the request (e.g.
/2016/10/21/moms-birthday/
) into the primary WP_Query. - template is where WordPress determines which theme template to render based on the main query, and renders it.
