Ditch the tablet and Firefox to rule them out. Prod the Flask web
server with curl(1) instead. So if it serves a ‘forward’ entry point,
Logo like, responding to GETs on it then try
time curl -sSgv --trace-time http://$ip:$port/forward
That will show the HTTP query being sent, and the HTTP reply, with each
line time-stamped, and the overall time at the end, though that includes
curl's execution time.
That will show if the Pi is replying quickly.
You could run that command on the Pi itself using the IP address of the
loopback interface, 127.0.0.1, to cut out the Wi-Fi interface too.
If that's still slow then perhaps your Python needs improving. :-)
