Speed issues

Residential proxies

Many things can affect the speed of a residential proxy: a different ISP, location, mobile signal strength, etc.

Nevertheless, our proxy network is optimized for the best speed, and our average proxy response time can vary from about half a second to a few seconds, depending on the country and various other factors. You can check how we tested our residential IP speeds here.

Due to the nature of residential proxies, some IPs are faster than others. If you face speed issues, try to change the port and/or endpoint. Then, run a couple of tests to see if this fixes the issue.

The tool you use can also affect the proxy speed. For example, a web browser connection will always be much slower because it has to load every media file. Your own internet connection and location also impact the connection speed.

Datacenter proxies

Datacenter proxies are usually faster than residential ones. For the best speed, you should select the proxy closest to you. Check out the locations offered for Datacenter Pay/GB proxies here and for Datacenter Pay/IP proxies here.
