Proxy speed

Learn all about the speed of your proxies

Proxy speed affects how responsive your browser profiles feel, especially when running automation or managing several profiles at once. This speed is measured as ping, the time in milliseconds it takes for a request to reach the proxy and get a response back. The lower the ping, the faster the proxy.

Incogniton gives you 2 ways to check it without running checks on every profile individually:

Option 1: The lightning bolt icon

Next to a profile's proxy in the profiles list, you'll see a lightning bolt icon. Its color gives you a quick read on that proxy's speed:

Color	Meaning
Purple	Perfect
Green	Great
Orange	Medium
Red	Bad
Blue	Proxy purchased through the Incogniton Proxy Shop

Hover over the icon to see the exact proxy speed in milliseconds. Hover over the icon to see the exact proxy speed in milliseconds. This is the fastest way to spot a slow proxy across a long list of profiles without opening each one individually.

Option 2: the Proxy Ping column

The Proxy Ping column in the profiles list shows the exact ping in milliseconds for each profile's proxy. Lower numbers mean a faster connection. If the Proxy Ping column isn't visible in your view, click the gear icon (settings) at the top right of the profiles list and select Proxy Ping from the available columns.

The free unblocked proxy shows N/A in this column since it isn't pinged the same way a dedicated proxy is.
