If you want something *really* light, try x-ray with superagent. It’s old-school but perfect for simple Node.js website scraper tasks.
For dynamic content, Nightmare.js is a lighter alternative to Puppeteer, though it’s not maintained anymore (still works tho).
Rate limits? Cloudflare is the worst. I use puppeteer-stealth to avoid detection. Also, residential proxies > datacenter.
