What’s the best way to handle web scraping with PHP these days? or How can I improve my web scraping

Honestly, web scraping php is still solid if you know your way around it. Python’s got more libs, but PHP can do the job.

I use Guzzle + DiDOM for parsing—way faster than Simple HTML DOM. For JS, try PuppeteerPHP (yes, it’s a thing).

Blocks? Rotate headers (Accept-Language, Referer) and use residential proxies. Free ones get banned fast.
