About Wordpress theme architecture: one index.php vs. multiple template files -


just quick questions wordpress wizards out there regarding wordpress theme architecture: what’s better in terms of performance, syntax, maintenance, etc.?

version a:

one index.php includes external parts (different loops , other structural) elements depending on if is_page, is_archive, is_single, is_tax, etc.

or

version b:

separate files index.php, pages.php, single.php, archive.php, etc.

version b going better performance, organizational standpoint.

take @ way template files called generate wordpress page based on wordpress template hierarchy. straight the codex on template hierarchy.

enter image description here

as can see, index.php last template looked during request.

also, , perhaps more subjective, breaking templates individual files makes things easier maintain, don't have 1 huge file conditional statements. each template single thing, , thing well.

edit: well, hoping you'd able see image...but here's original codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/images/9/96/wp-template-hierarchy.jpg
