REST APIs should have cost associated with the resources rather than the APIs because there is no limit on the number of calls made per API. If the response sizes can be reduced with inline filter, then it directly translates to savings for both the sender and the receiver.
Some of the performance degradations occur due to :
premature optimization
guessing
caching everything
fighting the framework
Performance can be improved with
1) finding the target baseline
2) knowing the current state
3) profiling to find bottlenecks
4) removing bottlenecks
5) repeating the above
Request distribution per hour, most requested, http statuses returned, request duration, failed requests etc all help with the analysis. Server logs can carry all this information. Tools to parse the logs for finding these information could help. Process id and memory usage can directly be added to the server logs. Server side and client side performance metrics help to isolate issues.
Benchmarks are available for performance testing of APIs. CDN should not matter in performance measurements. use static file return as baseline. Separate out I/O and CPU bound processes.
