Nothing frustrates a user more than a slow or non-responsive website or application. This is especially true in ecommerce, where slow-loading pages lead to high bounce rates and lower conversion rates. Often, the hidden culprit behind delays is a high-latency API. Many app developers integrate multiple third-party APIs, cumulatively adding more latency. As more APIs ...
