I experience 10x slower load times on production, compared to on localhost. I can't find the fault, but I suspect it's because of GoogleAdsClient creation taking a while.

Using Google ads api on a Node.js environment via Next.js and Vercel. Google Ads API v12. Npm package "google-ads-api" is used for creating the client (v12).

How can I fix this? It takes up to 60 seconds to load ads in production for me right now. While it takes only a few seconds in local.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Rasmus,

Thanks for reaching out to the Google Ads API team. I hope you are doing well today.

I understand that you are using Node js to call Google Ads API. However, Google Ads API supported client libraries don't include Node.js, you can check this link for the supported client library in Google Ads API. However, have you tried to use the direct REST API for the Google Ads API to send an api call? If not, then you may use REST API and see if it works on your end without being slow request processing.
