Hi Shinyee Tong (International Supplier)

When using this API or any external API, there are several factors can affect the response time and overall performance of your application. I can drop you a few recomendations.

Review the API documentation provided by Bing to understand their recommended best practices, rate limits, and any specific guidelines they provide for optimizing performance.

Also be aware of the rate limits imposed by the API. If you exceed the allowed number of requests in a given period, your application may be slower than usual Adjust your application's usage to stay within the specified limits.

Consider implementing caching mechanisms to store responses for common queries. This can help reduce the number of API calls and improve response times for frequently requested data. However, be cautious with caching for real-time data like weather, as the information may change frequently.

If this helps kindly accept the answer thanks much.
