Proxy Latency Test Tool: Global Node Speed Test Platform

Handy guide to picking the right proxy IP node

What's the biggest headache for those who engage in proxy IP? Nine times out of ten is lagging! When you are using it, suddenly the web page turns around, the video loads for half a day, and then you want to smash the computer. In fact, this matter has nothing to do withNode delayDirectly linked, just like online shopping to see the logistics time, choose the proxy IP also have to look at the "express speed".

There are a lot of latency measurement tools on the market, but most of them just give you a cold number. ipipgo's global speed measurement platform has come up with a new idea - to mark the real-time status of each node directly on the map. A green light at the Tokyo node means it's clear, a flashing yellow light at the Chicago node means it's a bit congested, and we'll go around the nodes with red alerts. This visualization design is especially friendly to novices, selecting a node is similar to playing traffic navigation.

Measuring latency isn't just a matter of clicking a button.

A lot of people measure latency by just clicking start and looking at the numbers, how is that different from a blind date where you just look at the photo? We need to learn.the Three-Look Principle (in many contexts)::

Take ipipgo's speed test platform for example, their24-Hour Fluctuation ChartThe first thing I want to do is to make sure that you have a good understanding of what you are doing. Last week to help customers test the U.S. nodes, the daytime delay of 90ms gorgeous, the results of the middle of the night soared to 300ms +, and then realized that the local operators to engage in night maintenance. If you don't look at the full-time data, the next day will fall into the pit.

Don't just stare at the delay numbers

Newbies tend to make the mistake - see 50ms latency and brainlessly rush. In fact, you have to look at thebusiness scenario::

• Web crawling: latency of 200ms or less is sufficient
• Video transmission: preferably compressed to less than 100ms
• Instant Messaging: 80ms is the line between life and death

Recently there was a customer who did live broadcasting and had to use the Korean node with the lowest latency. As a result, the ipipgoBandwidth TestFunction a check, although the delay of 70ms is good, but the bandwidth is only 2M simply can not take live. Later changed the delay 120ms but bandwidth 50M U.S. nodes, the screen immediately smooth.

Tachymeter Platform Hidden Tips

The engineers at ipipgo snuck me a couple ofbottom-of-the-barrel function::

1. Ctrl-click multiple nodes to batch measurements
2. Right-click nodes can directly copy the API address
3. Double click on the map to see local operator information

There is a brother who does cross-border e-commerce, relying on the third function to discover a cold treasure - a node of a small operator in Turkey. Although the latency of 150ms is not top notch, but the victory in the IP is clean, the success rate of registering an account is directly doubled.

Frequently Asked Questions QA

Q: What should I do if the measured latency is high or low?
A: 80% of the line is unstable, in the ipipgo background to turn onIntelligent Switchingmode, set the fluctuation over 30% to automatically change nodes

Q: The results of speed tests in the same area are much worse?
A: Normal phenomenon! Different carriers are like different couriers, it is recommended to choose ipipgo labeledPlatinum LineThese are directly connected to the major local carriers.

Q: Is there a charge for the speed measurement platform?
A: ipipgo's speed test function is free for registered users, howeverAdvanced MonitoringFunctions need to open the package, new users get 3 days of VIP experience

As a final rant, latency testing is like a medical checkup, you can't just look at height and weight. ipipgo's tool is great at putting thenetwork electrocardiogramI've drawn it out, and I know where the blockage is and where it's not at a glance. Next time before choosing a proxy IP, remember to give the node a full body checkup, guaranteed to work efficiently up.
