A couple of weeks ago we started testing Reddit ads for Causo Fundraising, mainly because Reddit has already been one of our strongest organic acquisition channels.
I'm curious: how do you evaluate and compare proxy providers?
Inside the ScrapeOps Proxy Aggregator, we've integrated around 50 proxy providers into a single tool. We continuously test and benchmark them to determine which providers offer the best performance at the lowest cost for different target websites.
The main performance metric we've settled on is average success latency:
How quickly does a provider return a successful response?
They tell you the bug is fixed. They don't show you. Our rule has always been: make the bug happen on real code, apply the fix, show it stops happening. The gap was we could only do that for bugs we'd scripted in advance. Anything unusual and the honest answer was "found it, fixed it, can't prove this one."
What we built
We taught FetchSandbox to write the reproduction itself, no pre-scripted test required.
