I’ve noticed that almost every single airline website feels extremely clunky, simply searching for a single flight route can take a minute to load. However, Google Flights only takes a few seconds and searches across all airlines.
In theory, shouldn’t it take longer for Google to process the information if they need to pull data from so many different airlines?

Searches are actually quite slow. Google doesn’t really care if it’s data is wrong, so it can do a search every 6 hours and just spit back the same information each time.
If your the airline and you raised prices on a flight 30 seconds ago you don’t want your website presenting the old cost,, so you have to do the search each time.
