Very slow API call execution

I have a fairly large call that executes in 0.03s on Xano debugger, yet takes around 5s to execute on my solution (Weweb).

5s seems way too slow to me—and we're talking here of 1 user and 1 call, what would it be if there's a 100 users triggering that call at the same time!

I'm thinking my call may be too large, but I've also read that many smaller calls can actually end up being slower than one big call. Or do you recommend breaking it down into smaller calls?

NB: I'm currently on a free plan, if that makes a difference (?).

UPDATE: I've tried breaking down my call into smaller individual calls. Weweb offers two ways to make API calls: A) all at once (this took 6s), or B) one at a time (that took 22s). So it seems pretty obvious that, in this case at least, a bigger call is faster to execute.
