A basic GET request, even with a long querystring, will be negligible even on a 1998 dial-up connection.
Right, but thousands of them, possibly every day? Could perhaps affect your data consumption on your phone e.g. ๐คทโโ๏ธ

I don't know of any data plan that limits on the upload. Caps are usually on the download side, and TFA says it does not download the server response.
You aren't terribly familiar with how much traffic we generate nowadays... are you? If we were still on 2G and isdn / dsl sure. You'd likely see a slight latency jump. On anything from this last decade+ ? Not a chance.

Gotcha. ๐๐
