## Întrebări frecvente

### Does this affect my site performance?

No! Hook Locator only runs in the WordPress admin when you actively search. There’s
no frontend code or background processing that affects your site’s performance.

### What file types does it search?

Hook Locator searches only PHP files (.php) since WordPress hooks are PHP-based.
It automatically skips other file types for optimal performance.

### Can I search for custom hooks?

Absolutely! Hook Locator finds any hook name you specify, including custom hooks
created by plugins, themes, or your own code.

### Is it safe to use on production sites?

Yes, Hook Locator is completely safe for production use. It only reads files and
never modifies any code. All operations are restricted to users with administrator
privileges.

### Does it work with multisite?

Yes, Hook Locator works perfectly with WordPress multisite installations. Each site
can use it independently to analyze their specific plugins and themes.

### Can I export the search results?

Currently, you can copy individual code snippets to your clipboard. Future versions
may include CSV/JSON export functionality based on user feedback.

### What’s the difference from other hook plugins?

Hook Locator focuses on static code analysis rather than runtime hook capture. This
makes it more accurate, secure, and performant while providing deeper code insights.
