1๏ธโฃ Allow caching
Caching stores data from a request locally. This reduces page load time and latency because it allows easier access to data.

2๏ธโฃ Prevent over-fetching and under-fetching
Over-fetching means providing too much unnecessary information on a single endpoint.
Under-fetching means not providing enough data on a single endpoint, leading to the need to make another API call.
Over-fetching means providing too much unnecessary information on a single endpoint.
Under-fetching means not providing enough data on a single endpoint, leading to the need to make another API call.
Both over and under-fetching can be avoided by appropriately planning and structuring the APIs architecture.
3๏ธโฃ Pagination
Pagination handles a response with multiple resources by applying paging and categorization to avoid overloading with unnecessary data.
Large queries can damage site performance, so pagination significantly reduces this issue.

4๏ธโฃ Filtering
Filtering uses query parameters to limit results from a request. Instead of listing all the resources, it gives you only the ones you want.
Filtering also improves user experience as well as API optimization.

5๏ธโฃ Payload compression
Payload is the body of a request that is sent to the server. Large payloads will slow down API performance.
Compression can significantly reduce file size.

The most common compression method uses GZip.
It's a software application used to compress and decompress files. Transferring compressed data increases speed performance.
