Power Query takes ages to load JSON data from web

[rohanrao_1]

Hey everyone, I'm pretty new to Power Query and am having some trouble when it comes to loading times. When I refresh all data in the workbook (which is just the queries) it takes 7 minutes (I got a little frustrated and actually timed it haha) for everything to load and for me to be able to continue working in Excel. For reference, as the picture below shows, I am pulling a lot of data. More specifically, 26 queries and a custom function that's used in all of them. I use that to load URLs that are on named ranges (that contain the JSON files that I pull data from) as the source for each query. Is there any way to make the queries load faster?




If any of my descriptions are unclear, lmk and I'll clarify in the comments.
