Proxy IP is too slow: bandwidth optimization and node selection strategy

Top 3 Culprits of Proxy IP Speed Stuttering

Many people think that the use of proxy IP after the slowdown in network speed is a normal phenomenon, in fact, 90% the situation can be solved through optimization. According to ipipgo technical team measured data, there are three key factors that affect the proxy speed:Bandwidth resource allocation, node routing quality, degree of protocol matching. For example, for residential IPs in the same area, a premium service provider node can respond 3-5 times faster than an ordinary node.

Practical Tips for Bandwidth Optimization

Insufficient bandwidth is the number one reason for slow speeds, but many users don't know how to effectively utilize bandwidth resources. Two immediate methods are recommended:

1. The choice of protocols is a delicate one

ipipgo supports all-protocol switching function, and it is recommended to choose flexibly according to the type of business. For example, when doing data collection with HTTP protocol, bandwidth consumption can be reduced by 40% or more.

2. Concurrent connection control

Launching too many requests at the same time will cause bandwidth congestion. It is recommended to turn on the intelligent speed limit function in the ipipgo console, the system will automatically optimize the concurrent channel of each IP, which can improve the transmission efficiency by 60%.

The Golden Rule of Node Selection

Picking the right node is more important than blindly going for quantity. ipipgo's 90 million+ residential IP library contains a wide range of network types. remember these three filtering principles:

1. Principle of geographical proximity

Select the neighboring nodes in the country/region where the target server is located. For example, if you need to access German services, prioritize IP nodes in France, Netherlands and other neighboring countries, the latency can be reduced by 50-80ms.

2. Network type matching

The bandwidth quality of residential IPs is generally better than that of server room IPs. ipipgo's residential IP library covers the world's major carrier networks, and by choosing a node with the same carrier as the target server, transmission speeds can be increased by up to 3 times.

3. Real-time speed measurement tools

Using the built-in node speed test function in ipipgo client, the system will automatically mark the current response speed of each node. It is recommended to refresh the speed test data before each use, and select a quality node with a latency of <150ms.
