Our proxy network is optimized for the best possible speed, but several factors can influence performance, including your home internet connection, proxy location settings, the tools you use, and the domains you visit.

To improve your speed, please try the following:

  1. Check Your Home Network Speed: Ensure your home internet connection is not the issue. A slow ISP can directly affect proxy performance. Remember Proxy speed cannot be higher than your home network speed. If you run multiple proxies at once the speed will be divided amongst them.

  2. Generate a New Proxy: Sometimes, simply generating a new proxy in the same location can resolve speed issues.

  3. Use a Proxy gate closer to your proxy location:

  • For European countries: gate-eu.nodemaven.com

  • For Asian countries: gate-sg.nodemaven.com

  • For US and the region: gate-us.nodemaven.com

4. Broaden Geo-Location Settings: If this is possible for your activity, instead of selecting specific regions or ISPs, try using broader settings:

Instead of selecting: United States > United States > Los Angeles > Spectrum

Try using: United States > California > Los Angeles> Random ISP

Or: United States > California, or even just United states and everything at random.

5. Choose a Closer Location: If it is possible for your activity, select a proxy server closer to your physical location to reduce latency.

6. Check the Domain Connection: Test the connection to the domain with your regular browser to rule out domain-specific issues

7. Double-check your code or tool: Ensure there are no issues with the code or tool you are using.
