Description (last modified by ocean90)

There are some plugins_api() calls which are requesting all data fields even if only some of them are used. We should define the fields to reduce execution time and memory usage.

Defaults:

'short_description' => true,
'description' => false,
'sections' => true,
'tested' => true,
'requires' => true,
'rating' => true,
'ratings' => true,
'downloaded' => true,
'downloadlink' => true,
'last_updated' => true,
'added' => true,
'tags' => true,
'compatibility' => true,
'homepage' => true,
'versions' => false,
'donate_link' => true,
'reviews' => false,
'banners' => false,
'icons' => false,
'active_installs' => false,
'group' => false,
'contributors' => false,

In 34598:

Plugins: Don't request all fields via plugins_api( 'plugin_information' ) for plugin installs and update checks.

The Plugins API returns a lot of data by default (see [34596]) but when installing or checking for updates we don't need all of it. To save bandwidth, memory and time request only required fields.

Fixes #34030.
