 * Hi
 * I am creating a new plugin that uses wordpress REST API for my website. My website
   has high load time, but I think there must be a way to work it faster with REST
   API. I created a function that triggers with rest_api_init action and registers
   routes with calling register_rest_route function. Is there any way to decrease
   response time?
 * Thanks

 * Decrease the API response time? There’s little that can be done. Decrease response
   time for a particular task outside the API? Maybe, depending on what you want
   to accomplish. Initializing WP takes a lot of server time no matter what you 
   do, there is simply a lot of overhead involved. If you can fulfill a request 
   without WP code, with just straight PHP, a lot of server time can be saved.
 * Server time does not equate to response time, other factors play into a request
   that is beyond coded solutions. Slow and/or error prone communications, overloaded
   shared hosting servers, whether web server or DB server, etc.
