Performance

Built for Speed at Every Layer

10Gbps Network Backbone

Enterprise-grade 10 Gbps backbone across all proxy nodes ensures zero bottlenecks. Your requests travel at line speed with no throttling or bandwidth caps, even under heavy load.

Sub-100ms Response Time

Strategically positioned edge servers deliver average response times under 100ms to major websites. Dedicated IPv4 proxies achieve sub-50ms to nearby targets.

Optimized BGP Routing

Custom BGP peering with 200+ ISPs eliminates unnecessary routing hops. Traffic takes the shortest possible path from proxy node to target server.

HTTP/2 & QUIC Support

Full HTTP/2 support with header compression and stream multiplexing. QUIC protocol available for UDP-based connections with zero round-trip connection setup.

Edge Server Proximity

30+ points of presence positioned near major internet exchanges. Proxy nodes co-located with popular CDNs for single-digit millisecond hops to target origins.

Deep Dive

What Affects Proxy Speed?

Understanding the four key factors that determine proxy latency helps you choose the right configuration and maximize throughput.

Routing Hops

High Impact

Each network hop adds 2-15ms of latency. Our optimized BGP peering reduces hops by 40-60% compared to standard routing, shaving 20-50ms off every request.

Server Distance

Critical Impact

Light travels at ~200km/ms through fiber. A proxy 5,000km away adds ~25ms minimum. Our 30+ PoPs ensure you are always within 1,500km of the nearest node.

Protocol Overhead

Medium Impact

TLS handshakes add 2-4 round trips (40-120ms). HTTP/2 multiplexing and connection pooling eliminate repeated handshakes, saving 60-100ms on sequential requests.

Concurrent Connections

Medium Impact

Opening 100+ parallel connections can saturate bandwidth and increase per-request latency. Our load balancer distributes connections across multiple upstream paths.

Optimization

Speed Optimization Tips

Practical techniques to squeeze every millisecond out of your proxy connections. Apply these to reduce latency by 30-60%.

1

Choose the Nearest Datacenter

Select the proxy region closest to your target website's servers, not your own location. If scraping a US site, use US East proxies regardless of where you are.

2

Enable HTTP/2 in Your Client

HTTP/2 multiplexes multiple requests over a single TCP connection. This eliminates head-of-line blocking and reduces connection overhead by up to 80%.

3

Use Connection Pooling

Reuse TCP connections with keep-alive headers instead of opening a new connection per request. This saves 40-80ms per request by avoiding repeated TLS handshakes.

4

Batch DNS Lookups

Resolve target domains before sending proxy requests. Pre-resolved DNS eliminates 10-30ms of lookup time per unique domain in your scraping pipeline.

5

Tune Concurrent Threads

Start with 50 concurrent threads and increase gradually. Monitor per-request latency — if it rises above baseline, you have hit the optimal concurrency ceiling.

6

Compress Response Bodies

Send Accept-Encoding: gzip, br headers to reduce transfer size by 60-90%. Smaller payloads mean faster downloads, especially on bandwidth-intensive scraping jobs.

FAQ

Speed & Performance FAQ

What latency should I expect from ResProxy?
Latency depends on the geographic distance between the proxy node and the target server. US targets average 32-45ms from our US East and West PoPs. European targets average 58-62ms from Frankfurt and London. Asian targets range 89-135ms. Dedicated IPv4 proxies deliver the lowest latency at sub-50ms for nearby targets.
HTTP vs SOCKS5 — which protocol is faster?
For web scraping and HTTP-based tasks, HTTP proxies are faster because they avoid the SOCKS5 handshake overhead (adds ~5-10ms per connection). However, SOCKS5 is faster for non-HTTP protocols like FTP or custom TCP because it operates at a lower network layer. For most users, HTTP/HTTPS proxies with connection pooling deliver the best speed.
How does geographic distance affect proxy speed?
Light in fiber travels at roughly 200km per millisecond. A proxy 10,000km from the target adds ~50ms of unavoidable physics-based latency. This is why choosing the right proxy region matters more than raw server speed. Our 30+ PoPs ensure you are always within 1,500km of a proxy node, minimizing distance-based latency.
Can I test proxy speed before buying?
Yes. Sign up for our free trial and run your own latency benchmarks using curl, wget, or any HTTP client. We also publish real-time speed metrics on our status page. Most customers test with a simple curl -o /dev/null -w 'Total: %{time_total}s' command to measure end-to-end response time.
What is connection pooling and how does it improve speed?
Connection pooling reuses existing TCP connections instead of opening a new one for each request. Since a TLS handshake takes 2-4 round trips (40-120ms), reusing connections saves that overhead on every subsequent request. Our proxies support HTTP keep-alive and HTTP/2 multiplexing for automatic connection pooling.
Why is my proxy slower than expected?
Common causes: (1) your proxy region is far from the target server — switch to a closer PoP, (2) too many concurrent connections saturating bandwidth — reduce thread count, (3) DNS resolution adding 10-30ms — pre-resolve domains, (4) target site throttling — rotate IPs to avoid rate limits. Check our speed optimization guide above.
Do you throttle bandwidth on any plan?
Never. All plans include unmetered bandwidth with zero throttling. Whether you transfer 1 GB or 10 TB per day, your connection speed remains at maximum throughput. Our 10 Gbps backbone per node ensures no single customer can saturate the network.
Are fast proxies suitable for real-time financial applications?
Yes. Our dedicated IPv4 proxies deliver sub-50ms latency to major financial data providers. Many algorithmic trading firms and fintech companies use our infrastructure for market data feeds, price aggregation, and time-sensitive API calls where every millisecond impacts profitability.
