Terrible performance when redirecting user via checkoutUrl on Cart

Terrible performance when redirecting user via checkoutUrl on Cart

I'm using the cartCreate endpoint via the storefront API to create a cart for users and allow them to add, items etc.

 

I'm then redirecting them to shopify using the checkoutUrl property.

 

In this example I just ran, it took 430ms to get a 302 redirect to another cart page with a 2.42s loading time.   This is pretty far outside industry norms where its common knowledge that load speed is directly correlated to conversions.

 

Is there anything we can do to make this faster?  Why are we getting a redirect from our redirect!?
