Swift tableView slow and scrollable lag

I am fetching data from json API. The table view call fills up, but very slow and lags when scrolling down, as the table loads faster. I am new to swift and xcode, any advice would be appreciated

import Foundation
import UIKit


class featuredViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate {


@IBOutlet weak var tableView: UITableView!
@IBOutlet weak var searchBar: UISearchBar!

// Array for JSON Data
var property: [featuredClass.property] = []
var imageArray = [String]()
var imageCollection = [[String]]()
var refreshControl: UIRefreshControl!


override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    self.getProperties()

    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    refreshControl = UIRefreshControl()
    refreshControl.attributedTitle = NSAttributedString(string: "Pull to refresh")
    refreshControl.addTarget(self, action: #selector(featuredViewController.getProperties), for: UIControlEvents.valueChanged)
    tableView.addSubview(refreshControl)
}

override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
    super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
