Reliability
Scrapers need requests to complete before speed, targeting, or browser behavior matters.
Bart ISP static proxies last 30 days benchmark passed. Proxy Index comparison score 99.6/100.
Grades are measured from us-east. Also observed, reported for context and never graded: eu-west. Declared concurrency tiers: 6-20.
Missing metrics are listed explicitly instead of implied.
Mean of equal-weighted workload-fixture success rates, scaled to 0-100. Each fixture already includes its configured raw HTTP and browser checks, so browser results are not counted twice. Baseline plumbing checks do not raise this grade.
Availability heartbeat success rate 100% · E-commerce product fixture success rate 100% · JSON workload fixture success rate 100% · Large HTML fixture success rate 100% · Listing page fixture success rate 100% · SERP fixture success rate 100%
Latency policy proxy_index_speed_latency_log_v2: raw HTTP requests through the proxy, successful attempts, a fresh connection every time with setup included, against three named targets (our fixtures, a CDN edge, a fixed European origin). Each target's median and p95 are scored on one absolute log curve (100 at <=100ms, 0 at >=10000ms) and blended 50/50; component scores combine with equal weight over the components measured this window (fixtures). Averaged with throughput graded as min(100, Mbps x 10) when present.
Request latency p50 31 ms · Request latency p95 41 ms · Throughput 93 Mbps
Static ISP pool grade: mean of endpoint-to-exit coverage, repeat stability, exit distribution balance, and exit-IP entropy. Stable reuse is expected for a static endpoint and is not penalized as failed rotation.
Unique exit IP count 25 · Repeat rate 88.9% · Top exit IP share 4% · Exit IP entropy 1
Geometric mean of enrichment-derived trust signals scaled to 0-100: usage-type accuracy (claimed vs observed), the inverse of high-risk IP share, and country geo accuracy. A zero load-bearing signal cannot be averaged away. Enrichment inputs require at least five unique exits, at least 80% coverage, and one labelled vendor source.
Usage type accuracy 100% · High-risk IP share 0%
Sticky-session hold rate scaled to 0-100. Requires session-persistence attempts.
Session hold rate 100%
Not graded: Price is context by design. The registry does not grade it.
The measurements behind the dimension grades above: what we ran and what it returned.
0 Proxy Index infrastructure failures excluded and reported separately.
Scrapers need requests to complete before speed, targeting, or browser behavior matters.
Latency and transfer speed determine queue depth, worker cost, and retry pressure.
Rotating proxy buyers need a pool that is broad enough and not concentrated on a few exits.
HTTP 200 is not enough; buyers need to know whether representative pages return usable content.
Browser-based scraping depends on proxies surviving the same engine stack buyers use.
Regional and network targeting breaks when provider metadata is stale or incorrect.
32 of 36 tracked buyer metrics are measured in this report.
What happened when this proxy handled representative scraping targets. This is direct evidence behind the workload success dimension, not a buying recommendation.
6 public trend series are available for this report.
The published report carries the eligibility gate, buyer dimensions, metric definitions, sample design, per-page results, and the redaction policy. It withholds credentials, endpoint hosts, raw observations, and raw attempt errors.
Redacted fields: endpoint.id, endpoint.host, endpoint.port, endpoint.proxySourceId, endpoint.tags, proxy credentials, raw observations, raw attempt errors
