Number of options overloads browser, browser “wait”

    Site has several roles, e.g. WooCommerce or other shopping, Course writing, Hosting, etc.

    # roles x # settings = checkboxes that the browser has to hold, settings the plugin has to load.

    So, I get browser “Waiting” frequently.

    This could even hang the browser, completely unresponsive for many minutes.

    I urge a change in approach: Select one Role to make changes for, and select a Category of options to change for that role, and display only those options.

    Next suggestion:

    Then, for each Role and Category, make a recommendation. Single button to set the recommended options for this role and category. Then the user can modify from that, if they want. Don’t make the user decide what to do for each option, without guidance.

    One site has these roles, so every option is multiplied by 16 roles:
