Why is the proxy slow?

Factors Affecting Speed

1. Geographic Distance

• Proxy server far from target website
• Suggestion: Choose nodes closer to target website

2. Network Congestion

• Network busy during peak hours
• Suggestion: Avoid peak hours or upgrade plan

3. Target Website Restrictions

• Some websites throttle proxy IPs
• Suggestion: Use residential IPs instead of datacenter IPs

4. Too Many Concurrent Requests

• Too many simultaneous requests
• Suggestion: Control concurrency, set reasonable delays

Optimization Suggestions

# Example: Add request delay
import time
import requests

proxies = {
    'http': 'http://username:[email protected]:8080',
    'https': 'http://username:[email protected]:8080'
}

for url in url_list:
    response = requests.get(url, proxies=proxies)
    time.sleep(1)  # Add 1 second delay

IP banned by target website?

Identifying IP Ban

• Returns 403 Forbidden
• Returns 429 Too Many Requests
• Requires CAPTCHA
• Connection timeout

Solutions

1. Change IP

# Use session to rotate IPs
import requests

# Use new session for each request
def make_request(url):
    proxies = {
        'http': 'http://username:[email protected]:8080'
    }
    response = requests.get(url, proxies=proxies)
    return response

2. Reduce Request Frequency

• Increase request intervals
• Use random delays
• Simulate human behavior

3. Use High-Quality IPs

• Upgrade to residential IP plan
• Use dedicated IPs
• Choose fingerprint browser feature

4. Set Correct Request Headers

headers = {
    'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36',
    'Accept': 'text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8',
    'Accept-Language': 'en-US,en;q=0.9',
    'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip, deflate, br',
    'Connection': 'keep-alive',
}

                          proxies=proxies,
