Proxy IP performance testing tools recommended: latency / bandwidth detection

How to measure proxy IP latency in real network environment?

The most straightforward way to test proxy IP latency is to use theterminal command. Open your computer's cmd or terminal and typeping proxy IP addressThen you can see the response time. However, there is a vulnerability in this method - some proxy servers block ping requests.

A more accurate way to do this would be to usecurl commandCalculating the full request takes time:

curl -o /dev/null -s -w 'Response time: %{time_total}s' http://目标网站 --proxy proxy IP:port

When testing with ipipgo's proxy IP, it is recommended that you select theNearest geographic locationnodes while testing different protocols (HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5) as the protocol type directly affects the latency performance.

Three Pitfalls You Must Watch Out for in Bandwidth Testing

Many people use speedtest to measure proxy IP bandwidth will get false data, here to share the actual test experience:

Recommended for ipipgoMulti-protocol supportcharacteristics to compare the bandwidth performance of different protocols in the same network environment. Residential proxy IPs usually have more stable bandwidth than server room IPs, but real-world testing is required to verify this.

Practical tips for building your own inspection scripts

Writing an inspection script in Python enables automated testing, key code logic:

import requests
proxies = {'http': 'ipipgo proxy ip:port'}
start = time.time()
r = requests.get('Address of speed test file', proxies=proxies)
print(f "Download speed: {len(r.content)/(time.time()-start)/1024:.2f}KB/s")

Be careful to prepare aSpeed test files over 10MBIf you have a server in a different region, ipipgo's global node coverage advantage can be demonstrated at this time, you can test the speed difference of the same proxy IP to connect to servers in different regions.

QA Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What should I do if my test results fluctuate greatly?
A: Residential IP itself has dynamic characteristics, it is recommended to turn on in ipipgo consoleLong Session Mode, reducing fluctuations caused by IP switching.

Q: How to choose between HTTP or SOCKS5 protocol?
A: HTTP proxy is preferred for web access, and SOCKS5 is recommended for downloading large files. ipipgo supports protocol auto-switching, which can be matched intelligently according to the usage scenarios.

Q: Tests show low latency but actual use is laggy?
A: Check to see if you are experiencingProtocol mismatchmaybeDNS contamination. Using ipipgo's DNS resolution service solves such problems for 90%.

Choosing the Right Tools to Improve Testing Efficiency

Three tested and effective combination programs are recommended:

1. Basic Test Kit: latency monitoring that comes with the ipipgo console + Chrome developer tools
2. Professional Testing Program: Postman Timed Tasks + Custom Scripts + Traffic Statistics
3. Enterprise Surveillance: Grafana visualization panel + ipipgo API monitoring interface

via ipipgo'sDynamic IP Poolfeature, you can batch test the performance difference of different IP segments. Its residential IP library contains 90 million+ real home IPs, and it is recommended to set the automatic switching interval when testing to get more comprehensive performance data.
