Test name	Executions per second
slice	2392204.0 Ops/sec
splice	3432711.0 Ops/sec
concat	2618689.0 Ops/sec
for loop	10168950.0 Ops/sec

Script Preparation code:

var data = [];
var res = [];

fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts')
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(json => data = json)

Tests:

slice
res = data.slice();
concat
res = data.concat();
forEach
res = []; data.forEach(element => res.push(element));
Traditional For Loop
res = []; for (let i = 0; i < data.length; i++) { res.push(data[i]); }
