At SOAX, we’ve made significant upgrades to our proxy infrastructure, reducing latency by up to 64% for North American traffic. Here’s how you can take advantage of these improvements to maximize your data collection speed and reliability.


How to get the fastest proxy speed

1. Use North American proxies for US/Canada targets

For the fastest connection to US and Canadian sites, use SOAX proxies located in North America.

  • Datacenter proxies in the US now deliver the lowest latency, making them ideal for real-time tasks.

  • Residential and mobile proxies based in North America also benefit from the infrastructure upgrade, providing faster connections for all use cases.

2. Run your requests from a nearby region

If possible, execute your requests from North or South America for the best performance. Physical proximity to our upgraded servers results in a measurable increase in speed.

3. No manual changes needed

SOAX’s intelligent routing automatically connects you to the optimal server for your location and target. You don’t need to change any settings—just select the right proxy type and location.

4. Monitor your speed

For critical workflows, keep an eye on your connection speeds and TTFB (Time to First Byte). If milliseconds matter, prioritize US-based datacenter proxies.


Why proxy location matters

The closer your proxy is to your target website, the faster your requests will be.

By reducing the distance data travels, you minimize delays and get more complete, high-quality datasets—essential for web scraping, AI/ML, ad verification, and other data-driven workflows.


FAQ

Do I need to update my proxy settings to take advantage of these upgrades?

No. All routing is automatic.

Just choose the right location and proxy type for your target.

Which proxy type is fastest for US websites?

Our US datacenter proxies now deliver the lowest latency, ideal for high-speed, real-time use cases.

Will this help if I’m outside North America?

Yes! Even users in Europe and other regions will see faster speeds when targeting North American resources, thanks to optimized routing.
