What's the Best Way to Check Proxies for Reliability and Speed? or How Do You Check Proxies to Ensure

Dude, ScraperAPI has a built-in proxy tester. It’s not free, but if you’re already using it for scraping, it’s a no-brainer.

Otherwise, ProxyRack’s free checker is okay for a quick test. Just don’t rely on it for long-term checks.

And yeah, geo matters—I’ve been burned by proxies that claim to be in the US but are actually in Russia.
