Dedicated IP server performance testing | Dedicated IP server performance testing methods and indicators analysis

What exactly does a dedicated IP server performance test measure?

For users who need to use proxy IP stably for a long time, the performance of the dedicated IP server directly affects the business operation effect. We suggest focusing on testing three dimensions:Responsiveness, stability, concurrency. Taking ipipgo's exclusive IP as an example, users need to simulate real usage scenarios and observe the IP's performance in different network environments through continuous testing over multiple time periods and geographic regions.

Hands-On Performance Testing

Preparation is required before testing:

Specific test steps:

1. Send 1MB test packets at regular intervals for 72 consecutive hours and record the response time for each request.
2. Stress test during evening peak hours (20:00-22:00) to simulate 20-50 concurrent requests
3. Cross-operator testing (accessed via telecom/mobile/Unicom networks, respectively)

Key Indicator Interpretation Tips

Test data needs to focus on three core metrics:

• Average response time ≤200ms: Baseline for premium IPs, ipipgo residential IPs typically up to 80-150ms in local carrier environments
• Packet loss <0.5%: More than 3 packet losses during consecutive tests need to be troubleshooted
• Concurrent success rate ≥98%: Focus on observing the type of error at high concurrency (connection timeout/authentication failure)

the right test tool for the right job

A combined testing program is recommended:

• Basic test: curl command with timed task scripts
• Visualization Monitoring: Grafana + Prometheus Build Kanban
• Specialized tools: API real-time monitoring interface provided by ipipgo

Pay special attention to the choice of testing time, it is recommended to include multiple time slots for weekdays/weekends, daytime/nighttime. For users who need domestic IP testing, they can directly use ipipgo nodes distributed in more than 240 countries for localization verification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between a dynamic IP and a static IP when testing?
A: Dynamic IP needs to focus on the connection reconstruction speed after IP replacement, it is recommended to test the automatic reconnection mechanism; static IP should focus on testing the stability of long-term connection. ipipgo both types support seamless switching.

Q: What should I do if my test results are unsatisfactory?
A: First confirm the local network environment, and then troubleshoot through ipipgo's IP health diagnostic function. It is recommended to test 3-5 IPs in the same area at the same time for comparison, residential IPs tend to perform more stably than server room IPs.

Q: How do I verify the true attribution of an IP?
A: Use the reverse resolution interface provided by ipipgo to get the ASN information and geolocation tag of the IP in real time to avoid using proxy IPs that are tagged as server rooms.
