I have some options to configure a plugin of mine. These options contain one subform field, that can be repeated. The purpose of the field is to match names of one type to ones of another type. The first type (Field 1) has around 170 names and the second (Field 2) around 500 to choose from.
Also i need to create a default matching value so there is no need matching stuff after installing the plugin.
After i did this the whole browser almost crashed and site needed around two minutes until it was usable. So first i deactivated the fancy-select Layout to make it faster, but it only helped a little.
Here is a piece of the plugin config that is making the trouble:
(don't miss the long default value)

Update:
So I forgot one of the custom fields is calling an outside API to get the 500 values. Of course, that should be done only once, but I don't get how a singleton call can be done inside this custom field API call.
Here is the important piece of code
<?php
namespace Joomla\Plugin\System\Ha\Field;
use Joomla\CMS\Uri\Uri;
use Joomla\CMS\HTML\HTMLHelper;
use Joomla\CMS\Http\HttpFactory;
use Joomla\CMS\Form\Field\ListField;
\defined('_JEXEC') or die;
class HaField extends ListField
{
protected $type = 'Ha';
protected static $options = [];
public function getOptions()
{
// static use of only once called API is not working
if (empty($this->options)) {
$this->options = array(
'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
);
$this->http = HttpFactory::getHttp($this->options);
$this->base_url = 'https://someservice.com';
$this->options['api-key'] = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
$this->url_params = [];
$this->url_params['user'] = '12345';
$url = Uri::getInstance($this->base_url . '/v1/fields');
$url->setQuery($this->url_params);
$options = [];
try {
$response = $this->http->get($url->toString(), $this->options);
$results = json_decode($response->getBody());
foreach ($results as $node) {
$options[] = HTMLHelper::_('select.option', $node, $node);
}
} catch (RuntimeException $e) {
$response = null;
}
$this->options = array_merge(parent::getOptions(), $options);
}
return $this->options;
}
}
