Question

Does using namespaces make a site faster or slower? That\'s what I would like to know.

If it helps improving site performance, then i would like to start using it ri

Answer 1

PHP Namespaces are largely if not totally irrelevant for the performance of your site. They aid you at writing well-encapsulated and structured code - that's why you should not be afraid to use them, at least if your project reaches a certain complexity.

If you're really worried about performance, you should profile first and check where your real bottlenecks lie.
