  1. TROUBLESHOOTING

Speed Issues

Residential proxies operate within a real-user network, meaning speeds can vary based on multiple factors. While our proxy network is optimized for the best performance, some IPs may naturally be faster than others. If you’re experiencing speed issues, here are the key factors to consider:

Geographical Distance

The farther the proxy server is from your actual location, the higher the latency.

For example, if you’re connecting from the U.S. but using a proxy in India, response times will be slower compared to a Canada-based proxy.

Network Load & Traffic

During peak hours, when demand for certain proxy pools is high, speeds may slow down temporarily. If possible, try connecting during off-peak times or switching to a different proxy region.

Other Factors Affecting Speed

  • Your own internet speed plays a major role—ensure your connection is stable.

  • The number of requests you send at once can impact speed; too many concurrent requests can overload the connection.

  • The target website's responsiveness—if the site itself is slow or rate-limiting requests, it may not be a proxy issue.

How to Improve Speed

  • Choose a proxy location closer to your actual location.

  • Try switching to another proxy IP or region.

  • Reduce the number of simultaneous requests.

  • Check your own network speed to rule out local connection issues.

If you're still experiencing slow speeds, let me know your proxy settings and location, and I’ll help you troubleshoot further!
