Additional information, screenshots, or code examples

I've tested the endpoint on three different machines (Windows, Ubuntu and Mac), including the server running the service itself. Clients I've tested with are HTTPie CLI and desktop app, cURL and another HTTP client as well as the browser. Each returns in less than 500ms except the CLI. This happens regardless of how the program was installed (pip or brew).
