Use cases

What real workloads actually need.

A proxy that works for SERP tracking is not the same proxy that works for Amazon price monitoring. One essay per workload, ranked from the same test data everything else on the site uses.

Workloads

Three workloads, essays coming.

Each use-case page will take the residential test data and re-rank the six providers for that specific workload: which tests matter most, which providers actually deliver, recommended config per pick.

01

SERP tracking

Rank tracking at 2M SERP checks / month. The workload that broke SERPwatch, and taught me why reliability matters more than pool size.

tests that matter: success rate, sustained throughput, geo match, block behavior · coming soon
02

Product monitoring

Amazon / Booking / Best Buy. Akamai-heavy targets where the proxy that handles Bot Manager wins the day.

tests that matter: per-site success on Akamai targets, latency at c8, sticky-session hold · coming soon
03

Price monitoring

Coupons, deal aggregators, cross-site scraping across 15+ sources per day. The workload that pays for the proxy bill.

tests that matter: cost per successful request, timeout rate, ASN diversity · coming soon
Meanwhile

The residential reports already cover the raw numbers.

If you know your workload and want to skip the essay, open any provider's Residential Report tab. Every use case above will end up being an opinion + a filtered view of that same data.
