Is My Proxy Server Slow or Is It Just Me? Troubleshooting Tips Needed! or How Can I Improve the Speed

Yo! Had this exact problem. My proxy server was crawling until I realized my browser extensions were messing with it.

Disabled a few sketchy ones, and boom—back to normal. Also, try changing the proxy port? Sometimes the default one gets clogged.

Tools like ProxyBench can help you test different setups. Hope that helps!
