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

PHP for web scraping? It’s doable but clunky. DiDOM is a solid alternative to Simple HTML DOM—much faster.

JS-heavy sites? You’ll need a headless browser. Try ChromePHP or just call Puppeteer via shell.

Proxies are a must. I use GeoSurf—pricey but reliable. Also, never scrape without a delay. Ever.
