The API is too slow, is there any way to speed it up? It takes up to 4.5s to query 9 products.

Describe the bug
I use woographql for my headlsess wp e-commerce website. And it takes up to 4.5s to query even a small amount of products.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to website
2. Search the "api" request in the network tab
3. See the enormous loading time

Expected behavior
I want to speed up this, even 2 seconds of loading would be much better.

Screenshots
Here is the screenshot of Network tab and Payload, Preview, Timing tabs of one of the requests.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Browser Chrome
• Version LTS

Plugin Versions

• WooGraphQL Version: 0.18.3
• WPGraphQL Version: 1.19.0
• WordPress Version: 6.3.1

Hi @sheinid, I don't think this issue is related to WooGraphQL. Your performance issues could come from too many plugins installed or by your disk speed. If you're using a NetworkFileSystem, throughput is another metric to look at.

@sheinid Can you share any information on how your caching your WordPress installation. Also have you confirmed that your installation isn't being bogged down by any other WordPress plugins using something like WP Query?
