Proxy speed

Learn all about the speed of your proxies

When you use proxies in your Incogniton browser profiles it’s possible to see the proxy speed. This tells you how fast or slow a proxy is, which can influence the performance of your browser profiles. There are several ways to indicate the proxy speed.

1

Option 1: Lightning bolt icon

In Profile Management you’ll see a lightning bolt icon next to the proxy. The colour of this icon indicates the proxy speed:

• Purple = Perfect

• Green = Great

• Orange = Medium

• Red = Bad

In some cases the icon is blue, which means it’s a proxy from Incogniton’s own proxy shop.

Do you not want to see the lightning bolt icon next to the proxy? You can switch it off. Go to My account – Account settings – Other and toggle on the button Hide Proxy Speed Bolt Icon.

Option 2: Proxy Speed column

In the Profile Management overview there’s a Proxy Speed column, which shows the speed of the proxy in milliseconds (ms).

If this column is not showing in your account, add it by clicking the settings icon on the right. In the pop-up window select Proxy Speed in the left column, click the arrows pointing to the right and then click Save columns.

Option 3: Proxy checker

The proxy checker is available while creating a new profile or editing an existing one. Go to the Proxy tab, fill in the proxy details and click Check proxy below. You’ll see all the proxy details, including the speed at the bottom.
