 **Are you using either the latest version of WordPress, or the latest
 development version?
 **Yes, tested on the latest version of WordPress.

 **What steps should be taken to consistently reproduce the problem?
 **This is not a bug but an enhancement. The current code  of async-
 upload.php can be optimized for better readability and efficiency without
 changing its behavior.

 **Does the problem occur even when you deactivate all plugins and use the
 default theme?
 **N/A (this is an enhancement and not a functional issue).

 **In case it's relevant to the ticket, what is the expected output or
 result? What did you see instead?
 **
 Code is more concise, maintains readability, and eliminates redundant
 logic.
 No functional changes to the output or behavior.
 Current Code:
 **async-upload.php
 **

 {{{
 if ( defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
     require_once ABSPATH . 'wp-load.php';
 } else {
     require_once dirname( __DIR__ ) . '/wp-load.php';
 }
 }}}


 Proposed Code:


 {{{
 require_once defined('ABSPATH')
     ? ABSPATH . 'wp-load.php'
     : dirname(__DIR__) . '/wp-load.php';

 }}}

 **Key Improvements:
 **
 Combined require_once logic using a ternary operator to reduce redundancy.
 Enhanced readability and made the logic more concise.
 **Additional Information:
 **
 Tested on a standard server environment running PHP 8.1 and the latest
 WordPress version.
 No plugins or themes impact this change since it is core logic.
 This enhancement aligns with WordPress coding standards and best practices
 for improving code maintainability.
 **Gutenberg Issues:
 **N/A (this enhancement is not specific to Gutenberg).
