whats the difference supabase realtime vs websockets ?

I have an app that uses websocket to build a channel like room where users can join it and it has to send the websocket request to all the other users. It seems a bit slow (not noticeable)

TLDR: I would like to know what's the difference b/w websockets vs supabase realtime? is realtime significantly faster than websockets?
